Thaneespi was a Mon Calamari deck officer and tactical analyst serving aboard the Home One at the Battle of Endor, where she served as first officer alongside Admiral Ackbar. Before 4 ABY was one of several leaders among the Mon Calamari diaspora that resulted from the Imperial invasion of Mon Calamari, who left the planet to escape the Imperial oppression. While onboard Home One during the Endor battle, Thaneespi was able to witness the defeat of the Galactic Empire and the destruction of Death Star II.
Behind the scenesEdit
Thaneespi has possibly been made into an action figure by Hasbro, this is disputed as the figure was simply named "Mon Calamari Officer" and shares features with other Mon Calamari present on the bridge Home One. Captain Verrack is another possibility.

Fifth Harmony star Camila Cabello bounced back from her Friday night (02Sep16) anxiety attack by rejoining her bandmates onstage in Dallas, Texas on Sunday (04Sep16).
The 19-year-old unexpectedly walked off mid-show at the girl group's tour stop in St. Louis, Missouri, on Friday, shortly after performing Boss.
Her bandmates, Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui, pressed on with the gig as a foursome, and on Saturday (03Sep16), Camila took to Snapchat to apologise to fans for her absence, explaining, "Hi Missouri, sorry I couldn't finish the set last night. Was having too much anxiety and couldn't finish it. I love u (sic). I'm truly sorry."
However, the Cuban-born singer appeared to be in better spirits on Sunday as she prepared for Fifth Harmony's gig in Dallas.
"Dallas, I'm so excited to see you," she posted on Twitter before the show.
She later returned to social media to thank fans for their support after making it through to the end of the band's latest tour stop.
"Thank u guys for all the love, I love u so much," she tweeted on Sunday night. "Dallas u made my heart so happy tonight. Thank you."
It's not clear what sparked Camila's anxiety problems during Friday's performance, but she hinted at exhaustion in the lead up to the Missouri concert, writing, "Just wanna (sic) sleep for 3 days".
The teenager will be able to catch up on her much-needed rest in a few days' time, as the girls are scheduled for a two week break from 11 September (16), according to E! News. | <urn:uuid:125669c7-ffe8-45ad-92d3-60d085abc6cd> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.younghollywood.com/news/camila-cabello-returns-to-the-stage-in-dallas.html | 2017-08-20T13:49:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886106754.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20170820131332-20170820151332-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.967632 | 364 |

People v. MayberryAnnotate this Case
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. BOOKER T. MAYBERRY et al., Defendants and Appellants
(In Bank. Opinion by Richardson, J., expressing the unanimous view of the court.) [15 Cal. 3d 144]
George Lawrence Schraer and Michael A. Mendelson, under appointments by the Supreme Court, David B. Elefant, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, and Alan Exelrod for Defendants and Appellants.
Evelle J. Younger, Attorney General, Jack R. Winkler, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Edward P. O'Brien, Assistant Attorney General, John T. Murphy, Ann K. Jensen and Clifford K. Thompson, Jr., Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
An information was filed charging Franklin Mayberry and his brother Booker T. Mayberry with various offenses against the prosecutrix (Miss Nancy B.). Booker was charged with assault with intent to commit rape (Pen. Code, § 220). Franklin was charged with [15 Cal. 3d 147] kidnaping (Pen. Code, § 207), rape by means of force and threat (Pen. Code, § 261, subds. 2 & 3), assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245), and oral copulation (Pen Code, § 288a). Following a joint trial, a jury found defendants guilty as charged on all counts, except that the jury found Franklin guilty of assault (Pen. Code, § 240), a lesser included offense in the alleged violation of section 245. Franklin received a jail term for the assault, and he and Booker received prison terms for the other offenses.
Defendants appeal from the judgments, contending that the prosecutrix' testimony is inherently improbable and that inadequate instructions, an improper charge, and certain other matters also require reversal of the judgments. We have concluded that the court erred in refusing to give instructions concerning mistake of fact and that the error requires reversal of the rape and kidnaping convictions. In all other respects the judgments will be affirmed.
Miss B., the prosecutrix, testified to the following effect:
About 4 p.m. on July 8, 1971, she left her apartment in Oakland to walk to a nearby grocery store. As she passed a liquor store, she heard "catcalls" from some men, and Franklin, whom she had never seen before, grabbed her arm. She dug her fingernails into his wrist, and he released her. After she turned to leave, he kicked her, threw a bottle which struck her, and shouted obscenities at her. She remonstrated and continued on her way.
After she entered the grocery store, Franklin suddenly appeared beside her and said something to the effect that she was going to go outside with him and if she did not cooperate she would "pay for it." She replied she did not want to accompany him and looked for a store security guard but saw none. The only store personnel she observed were busy with customers and were too far away for her to gain their attention. Because of her own confusion and fear of Franklin, she accompanied him outside the store, where they remained for approximately 20 minutes. During this time Miss B. observed no one available to assist her although two women left the store in her vicinity.
Franklin, in a threatening manner, mentioned to Miss B. having sex. She rejected this, but Franklin told her she "was going to have to go with him," and, when she refused, struck her in the chest with his fist, knocking her down. Franklin directed obscenities at her, held his fist up [15 Cal. 3d 148] to her face, and told her "you are going to come with me" and added that if she did not do so he would "knock every tooth out of [her] mouth." She asked him to leave her alone, but Franklin seized her wrist and said "come on." In an attempt "to buy time," she told Franklin she wanted to purchase some cigarettes, and he agreed. Placing his hand beneath her elbow, he accompanied her to a store, approximately 100 feet away, where she purchased cigarettes for herself and Franklin. She did not explain to the clerk her predicament because she was feeling "completely beaten" and did not think the clerk would help her.
After completing the purchase, she sat on a curb, attempted to engage Franklin in conversation and smoked a cigarette. During this period, in her words, she "put on an act" and tried "to fool" Franklin, thinking that she might be able to escape. He eventually said, "we are leaving." She "tried to talk him out of it," and he became angry and, uttering an obscenity, ordered her to "get up." She complied, and he again seized her elbow and started to guide her. While walking several blocks, they passed some business establishments, but Miss B. noticed no one on the street. She did not want to accompany him but, because of fear, did not resist.
Franklin led her to an apartment house and entered ahead of her. After they entered his apartment, he barricaded the door behind them. She did not attempt to flee because, having a leg that was stiff from an arthritic condition, she could not run fast. Approximately 15 minutes of further conversation ensued during which she unsuccessfully attempted to persuade Franklin "to change his mind." Without her consent, he then engaged in several acts of sexual intercourse and oral copulation with her. During the sexual assault he struck her, and because of fear she did not physically resist his advances.
While Miss B. was in the apartment, Booker entered. As she attempted to move towards the door, Booker mumbled "want some ...." He thereupon seized her and dragged her towards a mattress. When she resisted, Booker threw her against the wall and struck her face with his fists. She continually attempted to reach the door but was frustrated by Booker's repeated physical restraint. During a portion of this incident Booker apparently attempted to strangle her. She finally told Franklin, who was observing the fracas, that Booker was going to kill her. Franklin thereupon stepped between Miss B. and Booker and pushed her towards the door. She broke free and left. She went to a friend's house to get aid but found no one home. She then proceeded directly to her apartment. [15 Cal. 3d 149] She immediately reported the incidents to her apartment manager, and the police were summoned.
At trial a police officer testified that around 10:40 p.m. on July 8, 1971, he went to Miss B's address in response to a kidnap-rape call and observed much bruising and swelling on her face, left arm and leg.
Franklin took the stand in his own behalf and testified as follows: he saw Miss B. about 4 p.m. on July 8, 1971, and engaged her in conversation, after which he accompanied her to the grocery and the store where she purchased cigarettes. They then walked to his home. He did not threaten her, nor did she protest but accompanied him willingly and agreed to, and did engage in, intercourse. He denied seeing Booker hit her, but recalled that Booker entered the apartment while she was there and began laughing. She looked upset, said, "I'll fix you," and left.
Booker's testimony was that when he returned to his apartment on July 8, 1971, he found Franklin and Miss B. in bed. He left the apartment and, upon his return, commenced laughing. Miss B. put her hands over her face and left. Booker denied having touched her.
In rebuttal the prosecution presented two witnesses. One described bruises on Miss B's face and arms on the night of July 8, 1971; the other testified that she noticed nothing unusual about Miss B's face on July 7, 1971, but that when the witness observed Miss B. on July 9, 1971, her face was bruised and swollen, one eye was almost shut, and her arm was bruised.
We consider defendants' numerous contentions of error, one contention asserted jointly and the others severally.
Defendants' Claim that the Prosecutrix' Testimony is Inherently Improbable
In arguing that the prosecutrix' testimony is inherently improbable, defendants point to the facts that the prosecutrix did not report the assault in front of the liquor store to the police from a telephone that was available near the grocery store; that she did not physically resist Franklin after the initial encounter; that she failed to attempt to flee or obtain help even though there were opportunities for her to do so; that there was no evidence Franklin was armed; and that she had "a lighted [15 Cal. 3d 150] cigarette just prior to the time that [she] left [defendants' apartment]," suggesting thereby, in some way, a friendly parting.
We have previously considered the requisite quantum of evidence to meet a challenge of "improbability." In People v. Headlee, 18 Cal. 2d 266, 267-268 [115 P.2d 427], we noted that "To be improbable on its face the evidence must assert that something has occurred that it does not seem possible could have occurred under the circumstances disclosed." More recently, in People v. Thornton, 11 Cal. 3d 738, 754 [114 Cal. Rptr. 467, 523 P.2d 267], we reaffirmed the following language from People v. Huston, 21 Cal. 2d 690, 693 [134 P.2d 758]: "'Although an appellate court will not uphold a judgment or verdict based upon evidence inherently improbable, testimony which merely discloses unusual circumstances does not come within that category. [Citation.] To warrant the rejection of the statements given by a witness who has been believed by a trial court, there must exist either a physical impossibility that they are true, or their falsity must be apparent without resorting to inferences or deductions. [Citations.] Conflicts and even testimony which is subject to justifiable suspicion do not justify the reversal of a judgment, for it is the exclusive province of the trial judge or jury to determine the credibility of a witness and the truth or falsity of the facts upon which a determination depends. [Citation.]'"
Viewed in the light of the foregoing expressions, it cannot be said that the prosecutrix' testimony is inherently improbable. She testified that, although she was aware of the telephone by the grocery store, she did not think of it and planned to call the police from her home. She explained that she did not physically resist Franklin after the initial encounter because she was afraid of him. Although they were about the same size and there is no evidence he was armed, she had been threatened, struck, and knocked down and the jury, which had an opportunity to observe them and hear their testimony, could well have concluded that her fear was not unreasonable. She explained her failure to flee on the ground she could not run fast due to her stiff leg. Her failure to elicit help from others (e.g., persons at the grocery store) might have been deemed suspicious, but it was also susceptible to a conclusion that she was too frightened to think clearly. Her testimony that "[she] did have a lighted cigarette just prior to the time that [she] left [defendants' apartment]," which testimony is not amplified, is not significant and discloses at most an unusual circumstance. [15 Cal. 3d 151]
Booker's Claim that Court Erred in Refusing to Give Diminished Capacity Instructions
The court refused to give requested instructions on diminished capacity. Booker contends that the court thereby erred since the evidence, assertedly, warranted such instructions. He points to evidence of the preliminary hearing testimony of Miss B. that he "appeared to be drunk" at the time of the assault. At trial she testified that she did not form an opinion as to whether he was "under the influence of alcohol" at the time of the offense. Booker did not testify that he was intoxicated but, as noted, denied having touched Miss B.
We have previously expressed the principles controlling the giving and rejection of jury instructions. In People v. Carmen, 36 Cal. 2d 768, 773 [228 P.2d 281], we held that the court erred in refusing to give requested instructions on manslaughter; we stated in part, "'It is elementary that the court should instruct the jury upon every material question upon which there is any evidence deserving of any consideration whatever. [Citations.] The fact that the evidence may not be of a character to inspire belief does not authorize the refusal of an instruction based thereon. [Citations.]'" We have reaffirmed the Carmen principles in subsequent decisions, including cases wherein the defendant complained of a failure to give instructions based on diminished capacity. (E.g., People v. Castillo, 70 Cal. 2d 264, 269-270 [74 Cal. Rptr. 385, 449 P.2d 449]; People v. Henderson, 60 Cal. 2d 482, 489-491 [35 Cal. Rptr. 77, 386 P.2d 677]; People v. Modesto, 59 Cal. 2d 722, 729 [31 Cal. Rptr. 225, 382 P.2d 33] [overruled on other issues in People v. Sedeno, 10 Cal. 3d 703, 721 (112 Cal. Rptr. 1, 518 P.2d 913), and People v. Morse, 60 Cal. 2d 631, 648-649 (36 Cal. Rptr. 201, 388 P.2d 33, 12 A.L.R.3d 810)].) As an obvious corollary, where there is "no substantial evidence of diminished capacity" the court does not err in refusing to give instructions based on that defense. (People v. Bandhauer, 66 Cal. 2d 524, 528 [58 Cal. Rptr. 332, 426 P.2d 900].) Thus instructions on diminished capacity "need not be given when the evidence of diminished capacity is minimal." (People v. Carr, 8 Cal. 3d 287, 294 [104 Cal. Rptr. 705, 502 P.2d 513].)
Here the evidence of diminished capacity was minimal. Miss B's preliminary hearing testimony was inconsistent with her testimony at trial and was thus equivocal. No other evidence of Booker's intoxication was presented. Furthermore, there was no evidence that he was so intoxicated that he could not form an intent to commit rape. Under the circumstances the court did not err in refusing to give the instructions. [15 Cal. 3d 152]
Booker's Claim that Court Erred in Failing to Give Cautionary Instruction
Booker contends that the court erred in failing to give, sua sponte, a cautionary instruction that, since charges of sex offenses are easy to make and difficult to disprove, the prosecutrix' testimony concerning the alleged assault with intent to commit rape should be examined with caution.
Recently in People v. Rincon-Pineda, 14 Cal. 3d 864 [123 Cal. Rptr. 119, 538 P.2d 247], we re-examined the propriety of such an instruction and concluded that it should no longer be given. We further concluded, however, that the trial court erred in failing to comply with prior cases that made it mandatory to give such an instruction whether or not it was requested, but that the error was not prejudicial (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 13).
Here also the court's failure to give the cautionary instruction in connection with the charge of assault with intent to commit rape was not prejudicial. Such an instruction was given in connection with the rape charge against Franklin, and, although the instruction related specifically to that charge, the jury was thereby apprised of the principle which has been viewed as giving rise to a requirement of caution, and it is unlikely that the jury applied a different perspective when considering the testimony of the same witness against Booker. Furthermore, the testimony of witnesses indicating that Miss B. incurred bruises on her face about the time of the assault by Booker tended to corroborate her testimony.
Booker's Claim Regarding the Charge of "Great Bodily Injury"
Booker asserts that at the preliminary hearing the magistrate found there was no "great bodily injury" and that it was therefore error for the prosecution to include in the information a charge of such injury and for the court to submit the issue of such injury to the jury. He relies upon Jones v. Superior Court, 4 Cal. 3d 660 [94 Cal. Rptr. 289, 483 P.2d 1241], and further claims that, even though the jury's finding of "great bodily injury" was stricken by the court, he was prejudiced by the errors since, assertedly, it may be inferred that the jury determined that because of the charge of such injury he was a dangerous man. [15 Cal. 3d 153]
The preliminary hearing transcript is not part of the record on appeal. It is unnecessary to augment the record to include that transcript because even if it be assumed to have been error to include the "great bodily injury" charge in the information and to submit that issue to the jury, the errors were not prejudicial. (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 13; People v. Watson, 46 Cal. 2d 818, 836-837 [299 P.2d 243].) The jury was instructed that, in determining whether a defendant is guilty or not, the jury must be governed solely by the evidence. In our view, it is highly improbable that the jury's verdict concerning guilt was affected by the "great bodily injury" charge.
Booker's Other Claims
One of Booker's two remaining claims totally lacks merit. The other pertains to a minor matter that did not, by itself or in combination with the other matters complained of, result in a miscarriage of justice. (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 13.)
Franklin's Claim that Court Erred in Refusing to Give Requested Instructions
A. Mistake of Fact Instructions
The court refused to give requested instructions that directed the jury to acquit Franklin of the rape and kidnaping if the jury had a reasonable doubt as to whether Franklin reasonably and genuinely believed that Miss B. freely consented to her movement from the grocery store to his apartment and to sexual intercourse with him. Franklin contends that the court thereby erred. The Attorney General argues that the court properly refused to give the instructions because "mistake of fact instruction[s] as to consent should be rejected as against the law and public policy."
Penal Code section 207 provides, "Every person who forcibly ... takes ... any person in this state, and carries him into ... another part of the same county, ... is guilty of kidnaping." Penal Code section 261 provides, "Rape is an act of sexual intercourse, accomplished with a female not the wife of the perpetrator, under either of the following circumstances: ...; 2. Where she resists, but her resistance is overcome by force or violence; 3. Where she is prevented from resisting by threats of great and immediate bodily harm, accompanied by apparent power of execution ...." There is, of course, no kidnaping "'when one, ... with knowledge of what is taking place ..., voluntarily ... consents to [15 Cal. 3d 154] accompany another ...'" (see People v. Rhoden, 6 Cal. 3d 519, 526 [99 Cal. Rptr. 751, 492 P.2d 1143]), and similarly there is no rape if a female of sufficient capacity consents to sexual intercourse (see People v. Nash, 261 Cal. App. 2d 216, 223 [67 Cal. Rptr. 621]; 1 Witkin, Cal. Crimes (1963) § 173, p. 165, § 288, pp. 265-267).
Penal Code section 26 recites, generally, that one is incapable of committing a crime who commits an act under a mistake of fact disproving any criminal intent. Penal Code section 20 provides, "In every crime ... there must exist a union, or joint operation of act and intent, or criminal negligence." The word "intent" in section 20 means "wrongful intent." (See People v. Vogel, 46 Cal. 2d 798, 801, fn. 2 [299 P.2d 850].) "So basic is this requirement [of a union of act and wrongful intent] that it is an invariable element of every crime unless excluded expressly or by necessary implication." (Id., at p. 801.)
In People v. Hernandez, 61 Cal. 2d 529 [39 Cal. Rptr. 361, 393 P.2d 673, 8 A.L.R.3d 1092], we considered the matter of intent within a context similar to that presented in the instant case. The defendant in Hernandez was convicted of statutory rape under former subdivision 1 of Penal Code section 261, which provided "Rape is an act of sexual intercourse, accomplished with a female not the wife of the perpetrator .... 1. Where the female is under the age of eighteen years." On appeal the defendant contended that the court erred in excluding evidence that he had in good faith a reasonable belief that the prosecutrix was 18 years or more in age, and in Hernandez we upheld the contention.
Hernandez emphasized that we gave recognition to the legislative declarations in Penal Code sections 20 and 26 when we held in People v. Vogel, supra, 46 Cal. 2d 798, that "a [reasonable and] good faith belief that a former wife had obtained a divorce was a valid defense to a charge of bigamy arising out of a second marriage when the first marriage had not in fact been terminated." Hernandez quoted from Vogel, "'Nor would it be reasonable to hold that a person is guilty of bigamy who remarries in good faith in reliance on a judgment of divorce ... that is subsequently found not to be the "judgment of a competent court" .... Since it is often difficult for laymen to know when a judgment is not that of a competent court, we cannot reasonably expect them always to have such knowledge and make them criminals if their bona fide belief proves to be erroneous.'" Hernandez then declared, "Certainly it cannot be a greater wrong to entertain a bona fide but erroneous belief that a valid consent to an act of sexual intercourse has been obtained." Hernandez [15 Cal. 3d 155] had theretofore noted that, although in one sense the lack of the female's consent is not an element of statutory rape, in a broader sense the lack of consent is deemed to remain an element but the law creates a conclusive presumption of the lack thereof. (61 Cal.2d at p. 535.)
Hernandez further stated, "Equally applicable to the instant case are the following remarks [in Vogel]: 'The severe penalty imposed for bigamy, the serious loss of reputation conviction entails, ... and the fact that it has been regarded for centuries as a crime involving moral turpitude, make it extremely unlikely that the Legislature meant to include the morally innocent to make sure the guilty did not escape.' [¶] We are persuaded that the reluctance to accord to a charge of statutory rape the defense of a lack of criminal intent has no greater justification than in the case of other statutory crimes, where the Legislature has made identical provision with respect to intent. ..." Hernandez also indicated that the defendant's belief must be, inter alia, reasonable in order to negate criminal intent. (61 Cal.2d at pp. 534-536.)
Although Hernandez dealt solely with statutory rape (former subd. 1, Pen. Code, § 261), its rationale applies equally to rape by means of force or threat (Pen. Code, § 261, subds. 2 & 3) and kidnaping (Pen. Code, § 207). Those statutory provisions, like that involved in Hernandez, neither expressly nor by necessary implication negate the continuing requirement that there be a union of act and wrongful intent. The severe penalties imposed for those offenses (Pen. Code, § 207 [1 to 25 years in prison (see Pen. Code, § 208)]; Pen. Code, § 261, subds. 2 & 3 [3 years to life (Pen. Code, §§ 264, 671)]) and the serious loss of reputation following conviction make it extremely unlikely that the Legislature intended to exclude as to those offenses the element of wrongful intent. If a defendant entertains a reasonable and bona fide belief that a prosecutrix voluntarily consented to accompany him and to engage in sexual intercourse, it is apparent he does not possess the wrongful intent that is a prerequisite under Penal Code section 20 to a conviction of either kidnaping (§ 207) or rape by means of force or threat (§ 261, subds. 2 & 3).
In reaching the foregoing conclusion, we reject several contrary arguments advanced by the People. The Attorney General relies on People v. Sheasbey, 82 Cal. App. 459 [255 P. 836], and People v. Trawick, 78 Cal. App. 2d 604, 606 [178 P.2d 45], as establishing the general proposition that no state of mind or belief on the part of the defendant is part of the crime of kidnaping (Pen. Code, § 207) or a defense thereto. [15 Cal. 3d 156] However, it is clear from the statements in Sheasbey, when read in their entirety, and from the authority relied upon by Trawick that neither case indicates that a wrongful intent on the part of the defendant is not required for kidnaping (Pen. Code, § 207).
The Attorney General urges that the Legislature did not make "the state of mind or belief on the part of the perpetrator of rape relevant as a defense to that crime except as to the circumstances set forth in subdivisions 4 and 5 of section 261." Those subdivisions do require specified mental states on the part of the accused. However, it is implicit in Hernandez that the absence of such a requirement in other subdivisions of section 261 does not warrant the conclusion that the Legislature intended the accused's state of mind to become irrelevant in prosecutions under the other subdivisions.
The Attorney General further argues that a defense based on mistake of fact as to the prosecutrix' consent in prosecutions for kidnaping (Pen. Code, § 207) or rape (Pen. Code, § 261, subds. 2 & 3) should not be permitted because it will promote greater resistance by the victim to assure there is no misunderstanding as to consent and that such resistance could result in harm to the victim. The Attorney General notes that utmost resistance by the female to establish lack of consent to intercourse is not required. (See, e.g., People v. Ogden, 41 Cal. App. 2d 447, 453-455 [107 P.2d 50].) Such an argument, in our view, invokes a policy consideration for the Legislature -- adoption of the argument would result in effective nullification of Penal Code sections 20 and 26 when applied to cases of kidnaping (Pen. Code, § 207) and rape (Pen. Code, § 261, subds. 2 & 3).
The Attorney General next argues that, even if instructions regarding mistake of fact as to consent are appropriate in some cases of kidnaping (Pen. Code, § 207) and rape (Pen. Code, § 261, subds. 2 & 3), here the court properly determined that the evidence did not warrant such instructions. However, Franklin's testimony summarized above could be viewed as indicating that he reasonably and in good faith believed that Miss B. consented to accompany him to the apartment and to the subsequent sexual intercourse. In addition, part of Miss B's testimony furnishes support for the requested instructions. It appears from her testimony that her behavior was equivocal. Although she did not want Franklin to think she was consenting, her "act" and admitted failure physically to resist him after the initial encounter or to attempt to escape or obtain help might have misled him as to whether she was consenting. [15 Cal. 3d 157] We by no means intimate that such is the only reasonable interpretation of her conduct, but we do conclude that there was some evidence "deserving of ... consideration" which supported his contention that he acted under a mistake of fact as to her consent both to the movement and to intercourse. It follows, accordingly, that the requested instructions, if correctly worded, should have been given. (See People v. Carmen, supra, 36 Cal. 2d 768, 773.)
The People's final argument on the point is that the instructions are erroneous on the theory that the burden resting on the defendant to prove mistake of fact as to consent is not satisfied by merely raising a reasonable doubt as to that issue. The People err in this regard. In People v. Vogel, supra, 46 Cal. 2d 798, 801-803, we concluded that the burden was on the defendant to prove as a defense to a bigamy charge that he had a bona fide and reasonable belief that facts existed which left him free to remarry. Similarly here the burden was on Franklin to prove that he had a bona fide and reasonable belief that the prosecutrix consented to the movement and to sexual intercourse. As to that issue, he was only required to raise a reasonable doubt as to whether he had such a belief. (See People v. Hardy, 33 Cal. 2d 52, 63-66 [198 P.2d 865]; People v. Thomas, 267 Cal. App. 2d 698, 705-709 [73 Cal. Rptr. 590]; Witkin, Cal. Evidence (2d ed. 1966) § 212, subd. (2), p. 193; Law Revision Com. comments to Evid. Code, §§ 500 & 501; but see Witkin, Cal. Criminal Procedure (1963) § 343, p. 335.) The requested instructions so providing are thus correct, and the court erred in refusing to give them.
In People v. Modesto, supra, 59 Cal. 2d 722, 730, we held that "[a] defendant has a constitutional right to have the jury determine every material issue presented by the evidence. Regardless of how overwhelming the evidence of guilt may be, the denial of such a fundamental right cannot be cured by article VI, section 4 1/2 [now 13], of the California Constitution, for the denial of such a right itself is a miscarriage of justice within the meaning of that provision." In Modesto an erroneous failure to instruct on a lesser included offense of which the defendant could have been convicted was held to be a denial of that right. (In accord, People v. Hood, 1 Cal. 3d 444, 450 [82 Cal. Rptr. 618, 462 P.2d 370].) An erroneous failure to give other instructions has also been viewed as a denial of that right. (E.g., People v. Wilson, 66 Cal. 2d 749, 764 [59 Cal. Rptr. 156, 427 P.2d 820] [instruction on unconsciousness]; cf. People v. Phillips, 64 Cal. 2d 574, 584-585 [51 Cal. Rptr. 225, 414 P.2d 353] [giving of instruction that relieved the jury of the necessity of finding malice].) [15 Cal. 3d 158]
In People v. Sedeno, supra, 10 Cal. 3d 703, 720, we expressly reaffirmed the above quoted holding of Modesto. (See also People v. Horn, 12 Cal. 3d 290, 300-301 [115 Cal. Rptr. 516, 524 P.2d 1300].) Sedeno overruled a second facet of Modesto which had declared that the error in failing to instruct on a material issue cannot be cured by examining the verdict in the light of the instructions given and finding that the jury necessarily resolved, although in a different setting, the same factual question that would have been presented by the missing instruction. (10 Cal.3d at p. 721.) In the instant case, however, while the verdicts impliedly found that the victim did not consent to accompany Franklin to the apartment or to the subsequent intercourse, no claim is made, nor does it appear, that the jury by its verdicts in the light of the instructions given necessarily rejected the evidence supporting Franklin's assertion that he believed reasonably and in good faith that she had so consented. We conclude, accordingly, that under the rule in Modesto, reaffirmed in Sedeno, the erroneous refusal to give the mistake of fact instructions was prejudicial.
Insofar as People v. Bowens, 229 Cal. App. 2d 590 [40 Cal. Rptr. 435] interpreted the Modesto rule as limited to manslaughter instructions in murder cases, it is inconsistent with cases such as People v. Sedeno, supra, 10 Cal. 3d 703, 721-724, People v. Hood, supra, 1 Cal. 3d 444, 450-451 and People v. Wilson, supra, 66 Cal. 2d 749, 764. To that extent, People v. Bowens, supra, is hereby disapproved. Insofar as People v. Moseley, 240 Cal. App. 2d 859, 862-863 [50 Cal. Rptr. 67] and People v. Thomas, supra, 267 Cal. App. 2d 698, 708 state a different rule regarding reversible error for failing to instruct on mistake of fact than the rule stated herein, they are disapproved.
B. Accomplice Instruction
Franklin contends that the court erred in refusing to give a requested instruction which submitted to the jury the question whether Miss B. was an accomplice to oral copulation (Pen. Code, § 288a) and directed his acquittal in the event the jury found her to be an accomplice to that crime.
Penal Code section 1111 provides that "[a] conviction can not be had upon the testimony of an accomplice unless it be corroborated by such other evidence as shall tend to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense ...." The section defines an accomplice as "one who is liable to prosecution for the identical offense charged [15 Cal. 3d 159] against the defendant on trial in the cause in which the testimony of the accomplice is given."
If, as a matter of law, a witness is not an accomplice, the court does not err in refusing to submit that issue to the jury. (People v. Hoover, 12 Cal. 3d 875, 880 [117 Cal. Rptr. 672, 528 P.2d 760]; People v. Jones, 228 Cal. App. 2d 74, 95 [39 Cal. Rptr. 302].) On the other hand, if the facts are disputed or susceptible of different inferences, the question whether the witness is an accomplice should be submitted to the jury. (People v. Cisneros, 34 Cal. App. 3d 399, 413 [110 Cal. Rptr. 269]; People v. Jones, supra, at p. 94; see Witkin, Cal. Evidence (2d ed. 1966) § 1117, p. 1034.)
Here it appears from Miss B's testimony that she merely assented to oral copulation because she was in fear of great bodily harm. Thus under her version of the facts she was not an accomplice. (See People v. Perez, 9 Cal. 3d 651, 657-660 [108 Cal. Rptr. 474, 510 P.2d 1026]; People v. Washington, 203 Cal. App. 2d 609, 610 [21 Cal. Rptr. 788].) Franklin did not mention oral copulation in his testimony. However, he contends that, assuming the act was committed, his own testimony raised an inference that Miss B. was an accomplice because his testimony "as a whole ... indicates [she] consented to all the events which transpired on July 8, 1971." (See People v. Cox, 102 Cal. App. 2d 285, 286-287 [227 P.2d 290].)
Even if his testimony is susceptible of such an inference and even if it be assumed that there is insufficient corroboration of her testimony and that the requested instruction should have been given, the failure to give it did not result in a miscarriage of justice requiring a reversal. (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 13.) "It is well established that '"a 'miscarriage of justice' should be declared only when the court, 'after an examination of the entire cause, including the evidence,' is of the 'opinion' that it is reasonably probable that a result more favorable to the appealing party would have been reached in the absence of the error."' [Citations.] [¶] No cases have held failure to instruct on the law of accomplices to be reversible error per se." (People v. Gordon, 10 Cal. 3d 460, 470 [110 Cal. Rptr. 906, 516 P.2d 298].)
Here the jury, by finding Franklin guilty of kidnaping and rape, impliedly found that Miss B. did not consent either to the movement to his apartment or to sexual intercourse. While we reverse the rape and kidnaping convictions because of the court's failure to give the requested mistake of fact instructions, those instructions pertained to Franklin's [15 Cal. 3d 160] state of mind and the failure to give them does not affect the import of the jury's finding that she did not consent to the movement or to intercourse. It is highly unlikely that had the requested accomplice instruction been given, the jury would have found that she became an accomplice by consenting to oral copulation, which was part of the same episode as the other related offenses. From our examination of the record, we therefore do not think it is reasonably probable that a result more favorable to Franklin would have been reached had the instruction been given. (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 13; People v. Watson, supra, 46 Cal. 2d 818, 836.)
Franklin's Claim that Court Erred in Giving Instruction on Adverse Inference from His Failure to Explain or Deny Evidence
The court gave an instruction (consistent with Evid. Code, § 413) that permitted the jury to draw an adverse inference from any failure by either defendant to explain or deny any evidence against him which he could reasonably be expected to explain or deny because of facts within his knowledge. Franklin contends that the court erred in giving the instruction because, inter alia, it violated his privilege against self-incrimination (U.S. Const., 5th & 14th Amends.). However, as we stated in People v. Ing, 65 Cal. 2d 603, 610 [55 Cal. Rptr. 902, 422 P.2d 590], "[u]nder federal decisions a defendant who takes the stand and testifies in his own behalf waives his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination at least to the extent of the scope of relevant cross-examination. [Citations.]" (In accord, People v. Perez, 65 Cal. 2d 615, 620-622 [55 Cal. Rptr. 909, 422 P.2d 597] [cert. granted (390 U.S. 942 [19 L. Ed. 2d 1131, 88 S.Ct. 1055]); writ dism. as improvidently granted (395 U.S. 208 [23 L. Ed. 2d 212, 89 S.Ct. 1767])].) As we have seen, Franklin took the stand and freely gave his version of the events on the date of the alleged crimes. No claim is made by him that he failed to explain or deny evidence of any matter that was beyond the scope of relevant cross-examination. Rather he argues that Ing and Perez are not controlling because they, unlike the instant case, involved a failure to explain or deny evidence of other crimes relevant to show a common scheme or plan, but that fact manifestly does not serve to distinguish this case from those.
In further amplification of his objection, Franklin contends the instruction was improper because the court erroneously sustained objections to questions asked him on direct examination. However, we [15 Cal. 3d 161] are satisfied from our examination of the record that the court properly sustained the objections. Furthermore, Franklin's attorney by rephrasing the questions was able to pursue the same subjects.
Franklin additionally argues that the instruction was improper in that it unduly focused on his testimony, citing People v. Brown, 22 Cal. 2d 752, 756-758 [141 P.2d 1]. However, the instant instruction, unlike the instruction in Brown, is peculiarly applicable to a defendant.
Franklin's Other Claims
A claim by Franklin that his conduct did not constitute kidnaping under the rule in People v. Daniels, 71 Cal. 2d 1119 [80 Cal. Rptr. 897, 459 P.2d 225, 43 A.L.R.3d 677], is without merit, since that rule is inapplicable to section 207 kidnaping (People v. Stanworth, 11 Cal. 3d 588, 596-601 [114 Cal. Rptr. 250, 522 P.2d 1058]). We have carefully considered other contentions asserted by Franklin and find them equally meritless.
The convictions of rape and kidnaping are reversed. In all other respects, the judgments are affirmed.

Do I need to redo my will If I've gotten married?
That's a question we get from time to time. Here's the short answer: Your will is not totally invalid, but it may not be fully followed. And your new spouse may very well be able to claim a portion, if not all of your estate, even if that person is not named as a beneficiary.
The longer answer is this:In Georgia, if you get married AFTER doing your will, and your will does not say that it is made in contemplation of your getting married, then your spouse will be able to claim a share as if you died without a will. That means that your spouse would be entitled to at least 1/3 of the estate, but perhaps more, depending on the facts of your specific situation. Obviously, the net result may be something entirely different than what you wanted.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has held that the will does not have to identify the person you are going to marry for the will to be made in contemplation of marriage. But, it does have to state that it is made in contemplation of getting married in the future. If such a statement is made, and done properly, then the provisions of the will are generally going to be enforced, even if the new spouse is not listed to receive a portion of the estate.
If you have done a will and later gotten married, it is a wise idea to review that will, and your other planning documents with an experienced attorney. You want to make sure that your planning documents are complete and current, comply with the law, and express your wishes so that they can be lawfully followed. In addition to the will, you want to make sure that you have a good advance directive in place, and that you have a durable power of attorney in place and effect, or to become effective if you become incapacitated.

While The Declaration of Condominium Ownership for The Cliffs Association document contains over 20 articles, The Cliffs Association Board of Directors feels that the 18th article concerning insurance is an important one to reiterate and have available on the web site for both current and potential Unit owners.Article 18 outlines what insurance the Association is responsible to procure and what insurance Unit owners are responsible to procure. Insurance for unit owners is sometimes called a “walls in” policy at some agencies. However unit owners should note to their insurance agent that the Association does not cover any of the Inside Courtyards, and Decks and Driveways outside the unit. Please see the Abbreviated Responsibilities document on this site for additional information.

Beth Doe’s brother speaks out; cold case moves forward in Carbon
On Wednesday, relatives of Evelyn Colon, the victim in the 1976 “Beth Doe” homicide cold case came face to face with the man recently accused of her death.
“When I saw that luggage, I saw her image in my eyes. I can’t sleep at night. It was hard. I don’t want to find her like that,” said Luis Colon Sr., brother of Evelyn Colon.
Luis Sierra Sr., 63, of Ozone Park, New York, appeared in magisterial district court for a preliminary hearing in connection with the 1976 homicide of Evelyn Colon.
Colon and her unborn child were found in suitcases beneath an Interstate 80 bridge on Dec. 20, 1976. Coroners ruled that she died of strangulation and had also been shot. For decades, her unidentified remains were known by the name “Beth Doe.”
During Wednesday’s hearing, Judge Joseph D. Homanko ruled there was enough evidence against Sierra to send the case to county court.
Sierra’s defense attorney, Robert Madden, argued that the charges should be dismissed because there was no physical or forensic evidence linking his client to the crime.
According to state police and Colon’s brother, Sierra was the last person reported to have seen her alive. They also allege that a short time later, Sierra sent the family a letter, since lost, which said Evelyn had given birth to her child.
Luis Colon Sr. testified that the last time he and his parents saw Evelyn, she was with Sierra. The meeting occurred around December of 1976 at the family’s home in Jersey City, New Jersey. She was pregnant with Sierra’s child, and the couple had recently moved to an apartment in another neighborhood of Jersey City.
The letter, he recalled, came a few weeks later, possibly in January. It said the baby had been born, they had moved to Connecticut, and they would contact the family if they were needed.
Colon said the family believed the letter to be true. He said in the months after he last saw Evelyn, he approached police two times to discuss the letter, but no missing person report was filed.
“We believed when he said ‘We’re fine, don’t look for her, we’re going to Connecticut.’ but we questioned it later on. That’s when I asked the police,” Colon said.
Following the hearing, Colon said that despite what it may look like, the family never abandoned their search. He said his mother’s dying words were, “I need you to find Evelyn.”
Meanwhile, “Beth Doe” went unidentified for 45 years. State troopers obtained DNA in 2007. In 2020, a database matched her DNA with a sample obtained through a genealogy website. The sample was submitted by Luis Colon Jr., Evelyn’s nephew. He directed them to his father, who identified Sierra as a possible suspect.
Before his arrest, Sierra spoke with police for six hours without an attorney. The trooper who conducted the interview testified about their discussion Wednesday, against the objection of Sierra’s defense attorney.
Trooper Brian Noll said Sierra initially denied knowing Evelyn Colon. When troopers prompted him, he recalled that they had lived together during her pregnancy, but had parted ways due to an argument before the baby was born.
Sierra allegedly told Noll he tried to track down Colon at her parents’ house, but believed that they had moved away.
Noll said Sierra told him that it was possible he wrote the letter to the Colon family saying that the baby was born and they moved to Connecticut.
Defense attorney Madden objected to having Noll describe the content of the interview. He said he hasn’t yet received a copy of the six-hour interview.
Madden questioned why troopers hadn’t considered any other suspects. He presented an article on a serial killer who operated in Northern New Jersey at the time of Colon’s death, and became known as the “torso killer” due to his dismembering his victims. | <urn:uuid:72524ea0-04de-4876-b26f-dc0c0997685a> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.tnonline.com/20210428/i-cant-sleep-at-night-beth-does-brother-testifies/ | 2021-09-17T04:54:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780054023.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210917024943-20210917054943-00054.warc.gz | en | 0.987387 | 890 |

If you've been following Aquila's journey, you know he found his forever home in April. A month after his adoption, Aquila’s adopter posted this picture...and it’s incredible! When his foster mom saw it, she wrote:
He looks so proud and regal…and I know he’s VERY happy. A lot of people think that using psych meds on dogs is ridiculous. Several of those people PM’d me with their negative comments and criticisms. This boy arrived last July, completely feral from Qatar...he hated me, hated living in a home, and bit me frequently. He growled at me constantly and slunk around, running from me every time I stood up…he was always stressed.
I asked the vet to start him on trazodone, which is an anti-depressant for humans, that’s great for anxiety in dogs. Once we found the right dose for Aquila in late October, he improved by the day. He started to trust, didn’t bite me and was seeking affection from me. His friend Giza arrived and he formed a strong bond with her, but he wouldn’t have been able to do so without the trazodone.
He went to his forever home with Giza in early April, and was doing so well the vet started to lower his trazodone dose. So far he’s doing GREAT! In another week or so they can try lowering it a bit more. It’s possible he may no longer need it, or may only need a low dose long-term. We’ll find out.
Trazodone calmed Aquila enough to explore his new world, and it eased his fears so he could trust and adapt to his new life. A life he’s decided he LOVES. The difference in him is literally day & night.
Many dogs, especially rescues, who have often lived traumatic lives, can benefit from appropriate meds. Trazodone isn’t a miracle, but it works very well for anxiety and traumatized dogs. Many vets reach for Prozac, but it’s not a miracle either, and sometimes doesn’t work for dogs with anxiety & trauma.

What Is RSWT?
RSWT or Radial Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, fast and effective non-surgical method of eliminating scar tissue or reducing many painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system. It has also been shown to reduce or eliminate calcification in rotator cuff tendons. RSWT technology is derived from lithotripsy, a technique that has been in use for approximately 20 years to disintegrate kidney stones without the use of invasive surgery. This cutting-edge technology has recently been applied to rehabilitative therapy and delivers pneumatically generated, high-pressure acoustic shockwaves, which travel through the tissues to the site of injury/dysfunction thereby eliminating the abnormal tissue that causes pain. This stimulates the body’s healing process by increasing blood flow, increasing local metabolic activity and the production of new healthy tissue.
Is Shockwave Therapy for Me?
In looking to keep within our own level of clinical excellence, we pride ourselves in bringing the latest and most advanced therapies to our patients. At our clinic we use, the Masterpuls MP200 Radial Shockwave System, the most advanced shockwave system currently in Windsor.
Shockwave Therapy has been extensively shown to treat the following conditions:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Tendinitis
- Tennis Elbow
- Patellar Tendinitis (Jumpers Knee)
- Calcific Tendinitis of the Shoulder
- Activation of Muscle and Connective Tissue
- Scar Tissue
- Stress Fractures
- Myofascial Trigger Points
- Hallux Rigidus
- Hamstring Strains
- Mortons Neuroma
- Non Unions
The success rate has ranged from 71% to 91% improvement in as little as 3 treatments. Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical option with results that match surgical outcomes, and should be considered when other treatment options have failed or the condition reoccurs after traditional treatment methods. | <urn:uuid:fbd80d6e-8de9-4ccc-a872-b7643bc23ca9> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | http://corespineandsportscenter.com/radial-shockwave-therapy | 2018-08-21T00:01:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221217901.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20180820234831-20180821014831-00525.warc.gz | en | 0.914314 | 406 |

Sex is cool to those who think they are having fun, until they find out all that is associated with too many sex partners. According to the Christian view, sex should only happen when you are married. There is also the concern about sexually transmitted infections. Many countries have a problem with teaching our young men and women at the most critical ages in their lives about sexuality and sexual behavior. The age young people need to know all there is to this sexual revolution, should probably be around the peak of puberty, when things begin to change in their hormones and body development.
1Set your child down at home - it is not the job of the teachers to teach your child everything in life they will need to know.Ad
2The child should have the option to come to you when they are confused about what is happening inside them.
3Show some concern and give them the attention they are requiring in this delicate moment in their lives.
4Explain to your children that they are precious and the changes in them are designed by God to make them strong and important to the history of the world's existence. The girls should know that they are not mere pictures of some sexual fantasy by young men to exploit and ravish, not to place themselves in the position to be molested or raped or abused by any man.
5Emphasize that sex is a righteous thing when under the proper allotment given by its creator God. Men and women are to be together sexually; they are designed to procreate and to fall in love with the opposite sex. It is designed that way from the very beginning, so it isn't wrong to have feelings about a young lady or young man; it is perfectly normal and should be welcomed.
6Remind young boys that they are just as important as women in our society to maintain the proper population growth needed for man's dominion to increase. Men usually want everything, and we should teach our young men that they cannot have every woman they find attractive, because their hormones are out of control they find them selves developing into this sex crazed maniac who can control himself, who fascinates on every woman he sees and imagines himself within her arms basking in delight.
- Young men need to come to grips with this out of control feeling that seem to take over on every waking minute of his life, he can't control himself, he has experience premature ejaculation at some point in his adolescence and now he want this feeling more and more, so he touches himself and finds what he has changed into attracts his hunger, but doesn't know what to do with himself, he doesn't want to be wrong or do wrong so how can he capture these exhausting thoughts.
- It is a part of his development, but must be thwarted with other things, such as football or some sort of chore that can take this exhausting thought and place on the back burner for as long as it can be withheld, he needs structure and insight to help him survive the waves of desire and temptation roaring inside of him, not that the young lady doesn't have this same thing going on in her, not at all, it is just that she can come to grips with patience because of her situations that come about at least once a month for 7 to 10 days, she is preoccupied with her woman hood that has taken over rapidly without warning, just pains and travailing that make her want to hurt someone or break something, less known some boy yelling at her Obscenities, and sexual gesturing that normally would make her giggle, but now is just plain old disgusting.

Beginning with the fall 2014 term, applicants to the history of science graduate programs will submit all applications materials through the CollegeNET online application process. There have been no changes in the materials the department requires for an application. The only change is that all materials will be uploaded through CollegeNET.
The direct link to the CollegeNET application is: https://www.applyweb.com/ougrad/.
FAQ and general information on the CollegeNET application:
Applicants should note that in addition to submitting materials to the department, they will need to meet the admission requirements of the University and the Graduate College. General University and Graduate College information is available at the Office of Graduate Admissions site at http://www.ou.edu/content/admissions/home/requirements/graduate.html. Following is information that will assist applicants as they complete the application form and upload their materials.
Application Deadline: January 15 for admission in the following fall term. We only admit in the fall term.
Academic Program and Major Selection
- Please note that unless you have completed an MA in the history of science or in a closely related field, you should select the “History of Science, Technology and Medicine, MA in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine” option, which you will find among the programs listed under the College of Arts and Sciences.
- You should select the MA option even if your long-term goal is to complete the PhD. We do not admit directly to the doctoral track unless an applicant has completed a qualifying MA.
- We also offer a dual degree with the School of Library Information, the HSCI MA / MLIS dual degree. Applicants interested in this option should contact Stella Graves Stuart, email@example.com, for application information and instructions.
Graduate Record Examination scores
Applicants should provide Graduate Record Examination scores. Only the general test is necessary.
Three Confidential Letters of Reference
The evaluation of scholars with whom you have worked in the past is especially important to us as we consider your application. For this reason, we suggest that you select references very carefully, choosing individuals who have known you over a period of time, who can speak to your academic strengths, and who understand the elements of a graduate history or history of science program and therefore can make accurate assessments of your intellectual abilities, accomplishments in scholarship, originality and independence of mind, potential for growth, and personal characteristics.
Additional Materials - Statement of purpose/goals
In order to evaluate your aptitude and interest in the history of science, the department requests that you submit a 750-1000 word statement identifying your goals and particular interests in the history of science. This essay is a very important part of the application process, and you should prepare it carefully. In your essay, please address the following:
- your preparation for graduate study in history of science,
- previous reading in or study of the history of science or related fields,
- particular regional, temporal, or topical interests within the general field of history of science, and potential research topics you wish to pursue in the graduate program
- specific reasons for seeking admission to the graduate program in history of science at the University of Oklahoma, and
- your career goals and how graduate study in history of science at the University of Oklahoma will contribute to their attainment
Additional Materials - Writing sample (20-30 page maximum)
This could be a recent research or analytical paper submitted for an academic course, an undergraduate or MA thesis, or, alternatively, an original essay composed for this application. The essay should illustrate both the applicant’s ability to address a historical research problem and his or her writing ability. If you choose to send an excerpt of a larger work, please ensure that it contains the introduction and thesis statement, the historiographical context of the topic, and your use of historical evidence necessary to sustain your thesis. We request only one sample, but a second may be included if desired. Please do not submit samples beyond the 20-30 page limit.
We are often asked what we emphasize in reviewing applications. Most fundamentally, we are looking for evidence of scholarly achievement and talent. While standard metrics like undergraduate grades and GRE scores may be helpful in ascertaining this, they are not the only things we consider. The statement of purpose is very important and should therefore be crafted very carefully. It is often the determining factor in the admission decision. You should use the statement of purpose to summarize your academic background and preparation for future research in the history of science and to outline your planned course of study within our program. The admissions committee places less emphasis on your personal biographical trajectory, but greater emphasis on your scholarly preparation for graduate study and your considered plans for training in our program. Before submitting your application, you may find it helpful to have a faculty mentor at your current institution review the materials.
We especially wish to encourage applications from students with disabilities and from minority students. The University has a number of resources and programs to support diversity in the student body. | <urn:uuid:b1ac7931-ce6a-45a9-8490-bd79ddb603ea> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://cas.ou.edu/application-information | 2017-03-29T13:08:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218190295.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212950-00221-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.930769 | 1,024 |
What might we outsource? Looking at the skills necessary in an IT department, I divide them into 3 areas:
- Knowledge of the business
- Knowledge of technology
- The boundary between 1 & 2.
If you shouldn't outsource knowledge of the business, then you really should outsource the boundary between the two either.
That leaves technology as a possible outsource candidate. Clearly, in order to handle the boundary well, your staff needs to have some understanding of technologies that you have installed and that may be useful down the road. But what you don't need to have on staff (or what you can give up if you need to for resource reasons) is deep knowledge of technology.
For example, your admins may need to manage windows servers and a network. That keeps them pretty busy, especially with projects to improve capabilities. But from time to time you have difficult windows problems and network congestion. Outsourcing that expertise makes sense. Bring in a top-notch network geek and have them fix the problem or look at the overall implementation and make recommendations. Teach your staff one or two things to help future issues and walk out the door.
Another example would be a database administrator. We have three developers with long to-do lists. Having any of them take the time to become DBA-capable would take away from their development effort. And since we have put efforts into making them better analysts, we lose that also. However, bringing in a part time DBA resource makes sense. Such a person knows the deep internals of SQL Server and can easily see things that we won't see. They can make recommendations, help us fix things, implement some monitoring tools, check in once and a while. We get a better DB and we don't have a to add staff to do it. | <urn:uuid:fd136488-d93f-4f5f-9136-4e7ea20f9793> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://jab42.blogspot.com/2007/06/ | 2018-07-18T22:25:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676590329.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20180718213135-20180718233135-00385.warc.gz | en | 0.96391 | 368 |
Okay, I know this sounds very Scrooge-ish but I’m really serious about the present in or out question. Maybe because I’ve reached a point in my life where I have enough “stuff” and do not need or want more. Fact is, I’m getting rid of “stuff” and do not want to backfill with more stuff I’ll want to get rid of in five years from now.
I love giving presents but do not like getting them. Mostly because I think...Where in the heck am I going to put this? Or I look really bad in black and now have a black sweater to replace the one I just consigned.
And...thank the Lord...my kids agree. Believe it or now, we do not exchange Christmas presents!
Oh, I give the grandkids prezzies as there has to be something under the tree and I really do love shopping for them but I would have no idea what to give my kids. They are so picky and what I give them would probably wind up in my black sweater category.
But we do celebrate a ton! We focus on food and getting together and cracking a nice bottle of wine or braking out decadent chocolates or springing for that special dinner or going out to a really nice restaurant or...you get the picture. We’ve done this for seven years now and I have to say I do not at all miss the present side of Christmas.
So what about you? Do you exchange presents with your family members? How do you handle the black sweater problem? Do you Secret Santa or draw names or make lists?

2020 has sure been a sad year for us, as I know it has been for everyone on our planet. In addition to Covid and all the political and social issues, we've lost a lot of loved ones to cancer, heart disease, and dementia. It seems I have had to make more sympathy cards than cards to celebrate life.
If I have the time, I always prefer to send a handmade sympathy card than a store bought one. I feel taking the extra effort to put some time into making a card is the very least I can do. The first card is made using two old retired Stampin' Up! sets "Brighter Tomorrow" and "Happy Harmony". I know, it's kind of ironic that I made a sympathy card from a set called "Happy Harmony" but I loved the flower image.
To make the card, using a Stampamajig I randomly stamped the flower image from the "Happy Harmony" set all over a sky blue card base. I then cut a scalloped border out of white card stock along with a strip of "Close to Cocoa" card stock and sewed them directly onto the sky blue card base using a sewing machine. Sewing on a card seems odd to some, but I feel it adds just a little bit of interest to a card and it's so easy to do.
I then stamped the sentiment onto white card stock with an image from retired Stampin' Up! "Brighter Tomorrow" and cut it into a scalloped oval shape using a die from Spellbinder's Nestabilities. I sponged light blue ink on the edges, then I popped it up on dimensionals. The butterflies were cut using an old Cuttlebug die. I glued just the bodies of the butterflies to the card to add more dimension. Small, metallic pearls were added to some of the dots in the flower images.
My next card only uses images from the retired Stampin' Up! set "Thoughts and Prayers". Since it's fall, I decided to create a fall sympathy card and stamped the image in fall colors. I picked a dark purple and brown to frame the main image then I decorated the card with a bow.
I used Stampin' Up! Watercolor Markers to color different fall colors directly onto the stamp. Then I huffed on it to remoisten the ink, and stamped.
Have A Great Day!

Broccoli is a passive item.
Effects[edit | edit source]
- Increases damage by 10%.
- Adds a 10% chance to negate damage.
- Increases .
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Hardwood - If the player has Mahoguny, the gun fires four explosive pinecones at a time.
- Cactus Flower / Vegetables - If the player has Cactus, it has a chance to fire a prickly pear that bounces off walls and fires needles in all directions. In addition, all needles deal triple damage, are doubled in size, pierce, and bounce.
- Pea Cannon / Vegetables - Broccoli triples Pea Shooter's damage and makes its shots pierce, bounce, and explode.
- Plant Power - If the player also has Triple Gun, the laser beam phase is reached earlier than normal.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Unused: Fruits & Vegetables - If the player has Banana, it causes an unknown effect.
- Prior to the Supply Drop Update, Broccoli was an item, did not increase speed, and only gave a 5% damage increase.
- The Ammonomicon entry for Broccoli is almost identical to the first sentence on the Wikipedia page for Broccoli, which reads "Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head is eaten as a vegetable."
- The tagline could be a possible reference to the cartoon character, Popeye the Sailor, who would eat a can of spinach to become stronger. | <urn:uuid:4b845bb3-a5a1-4bd9-a2b1-787de573c069> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://enterthegungeon.gamepedia.com/Broccoli | 2020-01-29T12:52:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251796127.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20200129102701-20200129132701-00062.warc.gz | en | 0.918971 | 321 |
Yesterday I published one of those unholy been-in-the-drafts-forever posts on issues of linking. Here I see if I can make the point a bit more cleanly.
When we started getting people to use federated wiki in December, I thought the default sort of editing would be of the main article. You write a piece on Dylan’s 1966 Royal Albert Hall show, I come by and add more facts to it.
When we initially put people into federated wiki people didn’t do that. Instead, they commented, by adding endless signed thoughts to the bottom of the page. This is bad for reasons I won’t go into here. So I told people stop commenting, and some people complained, but most complied.
The next behavior that emerged was more interesting. People started extending articles not by editing them, but by linking to older articles or writing new ones. They’d do this at the bottom of the page. For instance:
This seems related to [[Walking the Lines]]
Where Walking the Lines was a page detailing a concept, theory, anecdote, or example of something related to the main page. Over time I started to formalize this pattern in my own writing on wiki. Here’s the bottom of my page on the concept of the Moral Cascade:
[[Normal Accident Theory]] posits that error should be seen as a normal occurrence, and systems should be designed to avoid cascading behavior.
[[Moral Cascade in the Classroom]] details how similar patterns play out in classroom management.
Broken Windows Theory described a moral cascade where small offenses led to large offenses, but it may be overhyped. See [[Broken Windows Theory Broken]] for a rejection of Moral Cascade patterns.
This started to become the most enjoyable part of the process for me, and the most profitable.
As I started to think about this I realized how natural the behavior we were seeing was. Say a person writes a page on — well, Dylan at Royal Albert Hall in 1966. The page is short and focused. Other people come by and read it.
The chances that any given reader knows more about that subject than the person who just wrote it are slim. It happens, but its not the median experience. On the other hand, the chances that any given reader knows something related to that subject are very high. So (in our fictional example here) the links accrue:
Stress from the tour would later be cited as a cause of [[Dylan’s Motorcycle Accident]].
For explanations of why people would go to a concert just to heckle, see [[Psychology of Heckling]]
Royal Albert Hall’s acoustics were not particularly suited for rock music. See [[Acoustics of Royal Albert Hall]]
And what starts to occur to me is that this is actually the Vannevar Bush vision, where the median user is neither a full-fledged writer or a simple reader but a linker. And part of the reason the reader can be a linker is that
they have their own copies of the document
they can add supplementary documents very easily and link to them, and
they don’t have to rewrite the main document to add links
Now you do get these capabilities in some annotation systems, but talking about problems with annotation systems is perhaps for another post.
In any case, this is the core idea of the last post: we can recapture, perhaps, this vision of the reader as the primary link author, but it requires us to think of links in a different way. | <urn:uuid:aa81b4ce-5a6f-454a-9d4b-5c1698917ab4> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://hapgood.us/2015/07/22/follow-up-reader-as-link-author/ | 2022-07-05T04:21:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104512702.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20220705022909-20220705052909-00581.warc.gz | en | 0.949299 | 744 |
The 30 best live acts in the world today
16th Jun 2011 | 22:00
The 30 greatest live acts in the world today
With festival season upon us once again and a mud-splattered summer of carnage under canvas in prospect, there's no time like the present to find out which band or solo artist blows the competition away. When it comes to electrifying live performances, who rocks the hardest? Who puts on the greatest show on earth?
You voted in your thousands, and now it's time to find out the results. Here are the 30 greatest live bands and solo artists in the world today, as voted for by you. Click onwards to find out who is the hottest ticket on the planet...
Arguably the biggest rap artist on the planet, Jigga is also a live force to be reckoned with. The man sure knows how to put on a show.
His ’08 appearance at Glastonbury is the perfect testament to why Jay-Z deserves a place on our list. Following months of controversy about his selection as the festival’s first ever hip-hop headliner, and a war of words with Noel Gallagher, Jay-Z turned up and casually treated a huge crowd to a set pack with stone cold classics - plus a somewhat satirical cover of Oasis’s Wonderwall.
Not only the perfect way to cement rap’s place at the heart of mainstream music, but one of the best headlining sets Pilton has seen in recent years…
"This is a song off our new record" is the kind of introduction guaranteed to please the die-hard fans but send the neutrals galloping towards the bar.
To be fair to Neal Schon et al, there's much more to Journey than one big hit, but when it comes to winning over an audience, it certainly helps to have a tune in your setlist so colossal that it can't fail to bring the house down. Yep, it's that one. We don't even have to mention it by name.
If you’re struggling to understand the concept of stage presence, take a look at Beyoncé in action. TV talent show judges are often heard to make the vacuous claim that a contestant has ‘owned the stage’, but Beyoncé actually does.
The quality of her vocal performances shouldn’t be underestimated, either, nor should the tightness of her band. She’ll have Glastonbury 2011 in her pocket.
Kanye totally proves the rule - prominent in hip-hop - that the more detached from reality you are, the more exciting a performer you become.
Sure, it might grate on some when he burst onstage at an awards show at the expense of Taylor Swift, but when he’s touring his bonkers-but-brilliant new album with overblown stage shows and troupes of ballet dancers in tow, who’s going to complain that he’s gone a bit nuts?
Oakland, CA's heaviest sons have been tearing audiences a new one since 1992 and 2007's The Blackening was acclaimed by the rock press as one of the leading heavy metal albums of the last decade.
Want heavy? You've got ten tons of it.
The Black Keys
Few bands can pull-off garage blues-rock with the integrity, authenticity and passion of The Black Keys.
There may only be two of them, but these boys can make the sort of glorious racket with just a guitar and a drum kit that most five-piece bands would sell an internal organ to be able to crank out.
They may have alienated the drum ‘n’ bass community that initially embraced them, but Pendulum can take comfort in the fact that their swerve to an electro-rock path has helped them to become a feted live act.
Their incendiary shows have proven to be particularly popular on the festival circuit: you don’t want to be the band playing on the other stage during their time slot.
If any band epitomises the big tear-jerking, festival-closing moment it’s Coldplay. And releasing the anthemic Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall ahead of next week’s Glastonbury headlining slot is a canny - if predictable - move. There’s no better audience to push your new material at than 100,000 soppy ravers in a Somerset field, after all.
Coldplay’s shows, though, mirror the tunes: they’re huge. And Chris Martin’s energetic enthusiasm, even when he’s sat at a piano, is contagious. Who could forget this moment at Sydney’s Sound Relief in 2007 when Chris decides to jump security and go for a pleasant sprint through the frantic crowd.
MusicRadar was lucky enough to witness Aerosmith's headline set at Download 2010 and we can honestly say that not only were they the stars of the weekend, but they blew away the competition with consummate ease.
Despite the rain, even the stragglers at the back were in the palm of Steven Tyler's hand throughout a hit-packed set.
It would be difficult for Macca to come up with a setlist that wasn't all-killer. Hell, we've even got a soft spot for We All Stand Together.
As singalongs go, Hey Jude at Glastonbury 2004 was one of the greatest ever, with the outro resounding around the bar areas and campsite at Worthy Farm hours after the former Beatle and his stellar backing band had left the stage.
Green Day’s rise from garage three-chord punk rockers to stadium-filling three-chord radio mainstays has been an unprecedented achievement. Formed way back in 1987 yet still, somehow, ‘down with the kids’, this forever-young three-piece have remained poster boys for several generations of rebellious stoner teenagers… and their moms.
Live, Green Day instil the kind of wild, devil-horn wielding crowd behaviour only possible in an arena full of young adults. It’s all about who can start the furthest away moshpit...
A Lady Gaga concert has that wonderful mix of pop accessibility and bonkers, over-blown, high-budget nonsense.
Who knows if she’s going to turn up wearing clothes made of meat? Or be wheeled out in a coffin? Or possibly be shooting pyrotechnics from some body part or other? Who knows? But either way, she’ll definitely bring some massive pop tunes along for the ride…
The Rolling Stones
What can you say about The Rolling Stones? At an age when they ought to be doing nothing more strenuous than mowing the lawn, Jagger, Richards, Watts and Wood are still capable of strutting around the globe and dusting off the kind of back catalogue that almost everyone else in this list would give their right arm for.
Will they tour again? Almost certainly...
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Last seen ripping up enormodomes with the E-Street Band on his Working on a Dream Tour in 2009, Springsteen is currently in the studio working on his next album, so we may see a return to the road in 2012.
For the moment, though, our thoughts are with E Street saxophonist Clarence Clemons as he recovers from the stroke he suffered last week.
Rage Against The Machine
When Rage Against The Machine split in 2000, the rock world lost one of its most potent live bands. Happily, sporadic reunions in recent years and 2009's Killing In The Name for Christmas number one campaign have seen the Los Angeles quartet back to their provocative, incendiary best.
Whether or not we'll ever see another RATM studio album is up for debate, but frankly, we'll always be up for bouncing around the moshpit to explosive classics like this.
The thing that makes Radiohead such a phenomenal live act is the way they’ve adapted and evolved over the past decade.
Post-OK Computer the Oxford five-piece could so easily have rested on their laurels and simply churned out the likes of Karma Police and Street Spirit for guaranteed festival singalongs until they hit retirement age.
But they didn’t. Instead - alongside the inevitable indie classics - you can expect to see Jonny Greenwood rocking out with a modular synthesizer as they break out the off-kilter rave-up of Idioteque, or the whole front line pounding percussion through There, There. And then there’s Thom Yorke’s dancing…
We defy anyone, in any UK city, town or village, to go out on a Saturday night without hearing Living On A Prayer at least twice. Now imagine that all-consuming, fist-pumping moment on a sticky floor translated to a stadium fronted by a stage of ‘80s heart-throbs. Yes, “wowowowowow”, through a voice box, for real.
Pink Floyd might no longer be functioning as a complete unit, but Waters’ creative energy continues to flow.
He’s currently touring with The Wall Live - a worldwide jaunt that sees the bassist and his band performing the album of the same name in its entirety - and at the O2 Arena in London in May, even managed to coax David Gilmour and Nick Mason onto the stage to help him out.
When Dave Grohl released a cassette-only album of his own material in 1992, he could never have imagined what the future held for him.
With the possible exception of Phil Collins, nobody in rock history has stepped out from behind the drum kit to become a frontman with such staggering success. By the way, in case you were wondering, Phil didn't make this list. We informed him by fax.
Last time MusicRadar caught German metallers Rammstein’s tongue-in-cheek live show, bassist Ollie Riedel was crowd-surfing in a life raft while lead singer Till Lindemann chased keyboard player Flake around the stage with a giant, flame-throwing, phallic butcher’s knife before pretending to cook him in a giant cauldron.
And then the stage caught fire. Who’s going to argue with that?
By the time U2 complete their current 360 tour in July, via Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on Friday, they'll have smashed all previous records for tour attendance and revenue.
The Rolling Stones' previous high scores of 6.3 million tickets sold and $558 million taken will be knocked into a cocked, diamond-encrusted hat by U2's earnings from 7 million paying punters. Presumably, they're doing something right.
Prince the recording artist may have been infuriatingly inconsistent for the past two decades, but his live performance credentials have rarely been called into question.
Whether leading his band, playing multiple instruments or dancing the heels off his shoes, Prince does it with consummate skill. He’s the highest placed solo artist on this list, and deservedly so.
From Bay Area thrash metal upstarts to MTV-straddling hard rock megastars, Metallica have always been ferocious live proposition, thanks in no small part to James Hetfield's jackhammer right hand - certainly much more metronomic than Lars Ulrich's drumming - and planet-sized leonine roar.
AC/DC's last live jaunt, the Black Ice tour, wrapped up in 2010 after, let's face it, rocking 5 million punters in a mammoth two-year slog around 29 countries.
The band are reportedly due back in the studio next January and Angus Young is already planning for the next tour: "Now we're thinking 'How can we ever better the Black Ice world tour?' But we will."
When they took their 2009 album The Resistance on tour, Teignmouth's leading Ufologists deployed hydraulic tower blocks and flying saucers to jaw-dropping effect, but last year's relatively pared-down Glastonbury production proved that they're by no means reliant on their supersize props.
Don't expect a low-key, intimate experience if you're lucky enough to catch them at Reading/Leeds in August, however.
Perennial MusicRadar poll contenders Dream Theater settle for a respectable top 10 placing this time out.
Find out what the future holds for the progressive metal outfit in our recent interview with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess.
Psychedelic prog troopers Porcupine Tree are currently taking their mammoth The Incident tour through the US, before returning to Europe this Autumn.
Guns N' Roses
Although we'd struggle to pick some of the members out of a police line-up these days, there's no denying that when the Guns N' Roses circus comes to town, all eyes and ears are fixated on it.
Axl might not show, there might be a riot, but hey... rock 'n' roll is supposed to be dangerous, right?
Sadly there are no bonus points for having a gigantic monster onstage, but you'd really have to go some to pip Maiden to the post when it comes to the theatrics and intensity of a full-on arena rock show.
England's heaviest export are still the kings when it comes to taking metal to the masses.
So there we have it. The greatest live act in the world today is a Canadian trio who have been taking their hugely popular brand of progressive rock on the road for nigh-on four decades.
Rush are still selling out arenas across the globe and anyone who attended the recent Time Machine shows in the UK will confirm that they were nothing short of captivating for three and a half hours. Geddy, Alex and Neil, we salute you. Here's why.

Champaign County Retired Teachers Association members gathered at Cedar Bog for their June meeting.
The regular meeting was held at 11:00, sharing time with the box lunches being served. The former teachers were delighted with the discussion of the Bog, its sources and educational improvements. Long-time CCRTA member, Jean Walborn Gantz, noted that she had visited the Bog (then called Cedar Swamp) as a fourth grader!. A tour of the Bog on the new boardwalk was conducted by Bog volunteers following the meeting.
The next meeting of the CCRTA will be held on Tuesday, August 13, at the Church of the Nazarene at the corner of East Route 29 and Dugan Road in Urbana. Registration and luncheon begin at 11:00. A travel program will be presented by Karen Deskins, guide, and one member of her group, CCRTA President, Ruth Hunsberger. They visited Australia, New Zealand and Figi. A brief meeting will follow. Please call Ruth Hunsberger for reservations.
Any retired teacher who taught or lives in Champaign County is welcome. Associate memberships are available for persons interested in education.

What is PTSD?
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental condition that develops in response to a traumatic event. It is characterised by intrusive recollections – ‘flashbacks’ – of the traumatising event that cause extreme emotional distress. The condition is associated with a vicious kaleidoscope of secondary symptoms, including depression, anxiety, anger and drug or alcohol abuse.
The term PTSD was first developed in response to the high incidence of trauma in returning Vietnam war veterans to America.
Our understanding of what can be considered ‘trauma’ has grown as the clinical treatment of PTSD has progressed. Traumatic events can include – but are not limited to – assault, sexual violence, warfare, traffic collisions, near-death experiences, natural disasters and the witnessing of violence. But creating hard-and-fast definitions of ‘trauma’ is not necessarily helpful, because we know that trauma can be highly individual, caused by all kinds of different experiences, and can affect different people in different ways.
How does PTSD work?
PTSD develops when a person’s fear response is triggered, particularly when the body has no feasible outlet for the expression of that fear. Experiences of being trapped or paralysed with fear are especially conducive to triggering PTSD.
In trauma survivors, the part of the brain that generates a fear response can remain active long after the traumatising event has ended, leaving them consistently on the edge and secreting stress hormones in low-stress environments. This damages the brain’s capacity to function normally, suppressing the production of serotonin and dopamine, hormones necessary for attention, happiness and energy.
Often, during a traumatic event, the brain also suppresses a person’s senses and physical responses. The essential connection between brain and body is temporarily cut in order to protect the mind. Traumatised people can, therefore, have trouble feeling at home in their own bodies and are especially sensitive to touch.
Common symptoms that people with PTSD experience include:
- Dissociation – feeling like you’re in a haze, like time is slowing down or you are not connected to reality
- Memory blackouts
- Disproportionate angry outbursts and verbal aggression
- Physical aggression and
- Problems concentrating
- Profuse sweating and a heightened sense of feeling threatened
Flashbacks in PTSD
Flashbacks of the original event are induced when a traumatised person encounters a ‘trigger’, a reminiscent sound, smell, sight or sensation. They are extremely frightening experiences. Studies of brain activity demonstrate that flashbacks are experienced as though the event were happening in real-time; a flashback is not a memory, but a re-experiencing of a traumatising event, with the same impact as the first time. This is why traditional talking therapies alone can be ineffective in treating PTSD.
Since flashbacks trigger the same psychological fear response as the traumatising event itself, a person’s behaviour during a flashback can seem, to an outsider, disproportionately fearful or violent. This is why compassion and understanding are essential when working with a PTSD sufferer.
PTSD also suppresses the brain’s capacity for empathy – understanding the emotions and motivations of others. This means that trauma survivors can find it harder to relate to others and can perceive danger in the most innocent of situations. But the formation of strong emotional bonds is one of the most important steps in healing trauma.
How can PTSD be treated?
If you are suffering from PTSD, there is reason to hope. Though debilitating, the condition can be successfully treated using a range of innovative techniques.
Since PTSD can damage a person’s connection to their body, and since sensory experiences can be powerful triggers for flashbacks, the most effective treatments for PTSD combine treating the psychological problems and the physical body in tandem. Acclimatising a survivor to touch, movement and physical expression can help them to overcome PTSD.
Common methods for the treatment of PTSD include:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy, developing personal coping strategies with your therapist that seek to divert negative thought patterns.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy, combining elements of CBT with techniques to help modify, challenge and process unhelpful beliefs following trauma.
- Mindfulness, the purposeful focus of one’s attention on the present moment.
- Dialectical behavioural therapy, the coupling of traditional CBT methods for emotional regulation with ideas of distress tolerance – the acceptance of distressing experiences – and mindfulness.
- Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, involving recall of a distressing image or event while engaging in a simple physical behaviour such as side-to-side eye movements or hand tapping. The processing of the event while engaging in simple, repetitive physical activity can help to desensitise, and can reduce the severity of flashbacks.
More alternative but anecdotally effective therapies include:
- Neurolinguistic programming therapy, a treatment that involves correcting the language that leads to negative thinking, helping the person to divert destructive thought patterns.
- Hypnotherapy, the inducement of a trance-like state in which a person can be gently re-exposed to their experiences in a therapeutic manner.
And more sensory therapies include:
- Sand therapy, in which a person reconstructs their experiences or mental state using toys and sand, creating a safe distance between a person and their trauma from which they can interrogate it in a less distressing way.
- Yoga, tai chi and massage therapy, and other physical therapies that combine bodily experience (stretching, moving or being touched) with meditative contemplation, realigning a person’s mind with their body for healthier processing.

If postings appears to be rare, it’s because I’m out there enjoying Norway in the most fantastic summer we’ve had since 1947.
Let me correct that: The most fantastic summer since 1947 in the South of Norway. In the North, the weather is record-breaking miserable, although at time of writing this, it seems to clear up a bit.
Anyway: In the South, we’ve had a steady state of sun and warmth – real warmth – for some two consecutive months. Oslo has been the warmes capital in Europe for a while, and it’s so dry that there is a total ban on open fire everywhere. In the South, I mean. Up North, you can still light your barbeque, if you find that comforting.
This, of course, calls for adventures! There are plenty of bikes roaming the roads everywhere, and I hope some of you had the chance to experience this. I am, so if you find postings rare, it’s because I’m out there. In Hardanger, Fjorda, Stryn, Hornindal, Fiskevollen – boy, this is a summer to remember.
I hope to see you on the road somewhere! Have a great summer! | <urn:uuid:1c80f503-2d32-4169-9c1c-06d3d9aafca7> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://ridenorway.com/author/ridenorway/ | 2019-04-24T08:59:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578636101.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190424074540-20190424100540-00347.warc.gz | en | 0.93441 | 264 |
If you've had the chance to read our latest seasonal Baby-n-Beads newsletter, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the article about allergies. Please leave your comments at the end of this post...
A feature story in the March 19, 2006 issue of USA TODAY reported that exposure to pets, peanuts, and intestinal worms might actually be good for children, because they program their developing immune system to know the difference between real threats and common exposures.
The article begins by noting that this new thinking is opposite of the previous conventional wisdom that said it was best to protect children from these types of exposures. They now state just the opposite. Dr. Andy Saxton of the University of California-Los Angeles, states, "What we learned is that it may, in fact, be important to be exposed early on to a sufficient quantity of allergy-causing substances to train the immune system that they are not a threat."
In the article, Dr. Joel Weinstock of Tufts New England Medical Center added: "When you're born, Day Zero, your immune system is like a new computer. It's not programmed. You have to add software. Between the ages of zero and 12, you're learning to read, you're learning to write, and your immune system is learning to react to things. Part of that is learning to limit reactivity."
The article supports the hypothesis that growing up in cities and suburbs, away from fields and farm animals, leaves people more susceptible to many immune disorders such as allergies and asthma. To strengthen his point, Dr. Weinstock notes the difference between developed nations with urban communities and undeveloped countries. "Hay fever is the most common allergy in the developed world," he says. "Yet, there are some countries in the world where doctors don't know what hay fever is."
What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? We'd like to hear your point of view. | <urn:uuid:6e6def78-f3fa-40df-bdcd-6b24b43d4db6> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://babynbeads.blogspot.com/2007/06/ | 2017-06-28T05:22:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128322870.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628050821-20170628070821-00447.warc.gz | en | 0.971813 | 397 |

There have been very few jazz harpists in history and Dorothy Ashby was one of the greats. Somehow she was able to play credible bebop on her instrument. As a pianist she studied at Wayne State University, and in 1952 she switched to harp. Within two years, Ashby was gigging in jazz, and in 1956 she made her first recording as a leader. Between 1956-1970, she led ten albums for such labels as Savoy, Prestige, New Jazz, Argo, Jazzland, Atlantic, and Cadet, guested on many records, and was firmly established as a top studio and session player. | <urn:uuid:ee5d4707-6ded-4ec5-b968-c2ee0af9a828> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.radionomy.com/en/artist/16010/Dorothy-Ashby/tracks | 2014-07-24T13:07:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997888972.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025808-00117-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986094 | 152 |

The 2016 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation just came out last month. Overall, the survey found a substantial increase in wildlife based activity participation by Americans. In 2016 alone, 101.6 million Americans (40% of the population) participated in fishing and hunting as well as wildlife activities, and spent $156 billion.
The “National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation” has been conducted every five years since 1955. The most recent study saw increases in wildlife observing and fishing with a small decline in hunting.
Between 2011 and 2016 there was a 20% surge in wildlife observation and photography which translated into an expenditure growth of 28% ($59.1 billion to $75.9 billion). Within this time-period, fishing participation increased by 8% with an expenditure increase of 2% ($45 billion to $46.1 billion). Although there was a fall in hunting, the industry remains strong with over 11.5 million hunters nationally.
The new administration aims to sustain this growth of the industry through greater public lands access.
US Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke believes that “hunting and fishing are a part of the American heritage” and that the most recent survey justifies an increase in legislation to increase public land access for outdoor recreation. He accredits hunters and anglers as the “backbone of American conservation” and that “the more sportsmen and women we have, the better wildlife will be.”
Since taking office, Zinke has reversed an order banning ammo and tackle on National Wildlife Refuge Lands, focused on growing hunting and fishing opportunities on public lands. In August, he proposed an expansion of hunting and fishing in 10 national wildlife refuges, and has also announced a goal to open BLM Sabinoso Wilderness Area to fishers, hunters, and wildlife enthusiasts for the first time.
This survey makes it is evident that Americans identify with the fishing, hunting, and other wildlife recreation industries. Organizations like the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the US Fish and Wildlife Service make it possible to enjoy our public lands surrounded by wildlife. | <urn:uuid:889ec362-9b96-4e09-a244-c512310db7bf> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.mirrranchgroup.com/this-just-in-americans-love-the-outdoors/ | 2021-10-24T02:13:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585837.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024015104-20211024045104-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.947598 | 431 |

This morning my Hannah was off to start her new school year as a FRESHMAN!! I still cant believe it. Really. I do believe this is why Im entering a mid-life crisis! How can I have a child in high school!!??
Dont let her shy look trick you.
Maddison was excited for her first day of 4th grade today.
She was up early and ready to go. Maddison always likes the first month of school, then it goes downhill from there. I'm determined that this school year will NOT be the same. We meet next week to review her IEP and if I have to get mean and ugly I will. As I said....this year will NOT be the same. They WILL hear me. :)
Im shocked to say that Maddison's blood sugars were PERFECT all day today for back to school! Im amazed. Thankful. Did I already say amazed? Nothing under 100 and nothing over 150. Thats about as good as it gets. I was SOOOO happy when I saw her numbers come home. My Maddison got to enjoy her day WITHOUT Diabetes invading!! Now, lets hope this continues. I'm not expecting it to by any means, Im happy to even take the one good day I can get!
Maddison does have the CGM on since yesterday but its been useless since last night. The high alarms went off at midnight, 1am, 2am, and 4am. Yes, Maddison was too high in the low 200's but the CGM was off by over 70pts saying she was nearly in the 300's. I didnt get much sleep to say the least. The CGM caught up by this morning being accurate within 5pts, but was off by 70pts again midmorning. After school the CGM was back to within 20pts of her fingerpokes, so hopefully tonight I can trust it. We shall see.
Cats and Kittens? Ahhhhh yes.....Last week Maddison started to volunteer at a Kitten/Cat rescue just blocks from our home! BLISTERED WHISKERS. Maddison has never been THIS excited. Maddison is still volunteering at the bird rescue too, so she has been kept very busy. We have spent HOURS at the rescue every day because they are short of volunteers. Its a disgusting messy job to care for hundreds of kittens in cages, but the place itself is amazingly clean and organized. Maddison and I have worked our butts off trying to keep these kitties cages clean! One day Maddison should know I do this for HER!! :) Of course, the best part of volunteering is being able to love the kitties when all they want is someone to love them and hold them. I guess I can forget all the hard (GRoSS) work we do when I see the kitties getting some play time and happiness in their caged up family-less lives. Its heartbreaking. I'm addicted. I'm turning into a crazy cat lady!
I think of these kitties now every morning and just want to get them cleaned up and get them out for play time! You should see how they appreciate your love. There is nothing like a shelter pet!

Glider Flying Handbook
This handbook conforms to pilot training and certification concepts established by the FAA. There are dif- ferent ways of teaching, as well as performing flight procedures and maneuvers, and many variations in the explanations of aerodynamic theories and principles. This handbook adopts a selective method and concept to flying gliders. The discussion and explanations reflect the most commonly used practices and principles. Occasionally, the word “must” or similar language is used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
It is essential for persons using this handbook to also become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14 CFR and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). Performance standards for demonstrating com- petence required for pilot certification are prescribed in the appropriate glider practical test standard.
This handbook contains all or part of the information found in AC 61-94, Pilot Transition Course for Self- Launching or Powered Sailplanes (Motorgliders). This publication may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), Washington, DC 20402-9325, or from U.S. Government Bookstores located in major cities throughout the United States.

Background: While pill burden can harm or overwhelm patients, very little is known about pill burden in patients with diabetes or metabolic syndrome. Objective: To determine the pill burden level in low-income patients with metabolic syndrome who were enrolled in a diabetes study that was trying to achieve recommended targets of therapy. Methods: A prospective chart review was performed on 145 patients enrolled in a diabetes study at Siouxland Community Health Center. Patients were considered to have metabolic syndrome if they had 3 or more of the following clinical risk factors: (1) type 2 diabetes mellitus; (2) dyslipidemia (triglycerides >150 mg/dL or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <40 mg/dL for men and <50 mg/dL for women); (3) hypertension (blood pressure >130/80 mm Hg or receiving antihypertensive medication); and (4) obesity (body mass index >30 kg/m2). Pill burden was defined as the average number of prescribed administrations per day. Inhalers, ophthalmics, and glucose meters were counted by number of puffs, drops, or finger sticks per day. Average hemoglobin A1C (A1C) level was collected at baseline and at 12 months. Results: The results showed that 85.5% of patients in the diabetes study were classified as having metabolic syndrome. The total number of administrations per day was analyzed for 124 eligible patients. Patients had an average baseline pill burden of 8.5 and A1C of 8.6%. After being enrolled in the study for 12 months, patients' average pill burden endpoint increased to 13.1 and A1C was reduced to 7.0%. At the end of the study, 37.9% of patients were prescribed dual therapy for glucose control: 79% on antihypertensives, 70% on lipid-lowering agents, and 65% taking aspirin. Conclusions: Diabetes patients with metabolic syndrome are prescribed multiple drug therapies to control diabetes and other metabolic abnormalities. In this study, we concluded that the average pill burden was 13.1 in patients with glucose-controlled diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

In October, 1993, the Council of the District of Columbia received "proposed legislation" titled "Albert Pike, Ku Klux Klan Memorial Statue, Removal Resolution of 1992, PR 9-526." The request to have the President of the United States remove this statue was submitted by council member William P. Lightfoot. Mr. Lightfoot claimed
Below is an article which appeared in the August, 1993 issue of the Philalethes magazine and is reprinted here with permission. We believe it helps cut through some of the 'fog' surrounding this matter. We'd encourage you to pay particular attention to the motivations of those who attack the Pike memorial.
Attack on the Albert Pike Statue, Washington, DC
By Gary Scott, MPS
The Albert Pike Statue is located at 3rd and D Streets, N.W. in downtown Washington, D.C. It is administered by the National Park Service. Congress authorized the placement of a statue to Albert Pike on Federal land in Washington, D.C. on April 9, 1898, in Joint Resolution 20 (30 stat. 737). The Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction, which Pike led for 32 years, sponsored and paid for the statue's erection, as recognition for his long service to the Scottish Rite. At the time of erection, the statue stood in front of the Scottish Rite House of the Temple. The enabling legislation does not refer to Pike's service in the Confederate Army.
Pike, an early advocate of native American rights, led Confederate Indian troops at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas. Even though he had severe disagreements with Jefferson Davis over use of Indian troops and left Confederate service, the statue was for many years the scene of ceremonies by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
In this eleven-foot bronze statue by Italian sculptor Gaetano Trentaove, Pike is presented in civilian dress as a Masonic leader, not as a Confederate General. He carries a copy of his famed but long out of print Morals and Dogma in his left hand. The large granite pedestal below him contains a bronze lady in Greek dress who sits on one level of the pedestal and holds the banner of the Scottish Rite.
The statue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 20, 1978, in a National Register nomination of the Civil War Monuments in Washington, D.C. Pike's statue is the only Confederate officer represented among the outdoor Civil War statuary of Washington.
Since September, 1992, protesters have held rallies at the Pike statue contending that he was "the chief founder" of the Ku Klux Klan in Arkansas. The protesters are led and organized by and consist mainly of supporters of political figure Lyndon LaRouche. (masonicinfocom note: an additional reference here calls LaRouche a 'Fascist Demagogue' and provides much material on his bizarre behavior.) The protesters' main organizer is Anton Chaitkin who is affiliated with the Shiller Institute, a LaRouche organization. Messrs. LaRouche, Chaitkin, and their supporters contend that the Klan was founded as the terrorist arm of the Scottish Rite as part of a wide Masonic conspiracy to keep the South in Confederate hands.
Mr. Chaitkin appears to believe that Masonic historians have been actively rewriting American history as part of a Masonic conspiracy. He believes that the Scottish Rite is a British Imperial plot, hatched in Charleston, South Carolina, to perpetuate slavery, and then failing that, to perpetuate the Ku Klux Klan; and that the whole American legal system is largely controlled by the Scottish Rite, which is responsible for the imprisonment of Lyndon LaRouche on credit card fraud charges.
During this period of weekly rallies by the LaRouche organization, the statue has been painted, chipped, and decorated with Klan costume, the latter to appear on a Lyndon LaRouche for President poster. Several posters have appeared in the vicinity of the current House of the Temple in Washington.
On April 20, 1993, Mr. Chaitkin and his associate, Rev. James Bevel, were convicted of climbing on the statue after a police official had asked them to step down. At the trial, the two defendants attacked the sitting judge for having reputedly been a member of an Albert Pike DeMolay Chapter in San Antonio, Texas, a confirmation of their Masonic conspiracy thesis in the legal system. Outside the courtroom, LaRouche followers carried large banners stating, "Down with Pike!"
There is one recent biography of Pike, written by Robert Duncan and published in 1961, and another currently being prepared by Dr. Walter Lee Brown, a retired professor of history at the University of Arkansas. Dr. Brown's Ph.D. dissertation was on Pike, and he is considered a leading authority on the subject. Dr. Brown has stated that there are no primary sources which provide evidence that Pike was involved with the Klan. (masonicinfo.com note: that book is now published and is linked here)
There are no records extant from the late 1860s - early 1870s period which connect Pike with the Klan. A Congressional investigation (U.S. House of Representatives, Report No. 2, 42nd Congress, 2nd Session, Condition of Affairs in the Late Insurrectionary States Washington, D.C., U. S. Printing Office, 1872) into the activities of the Reconstruction Era Klan includes material from 1868 to 1871. There are references to alleged Klan leaders in several states, but no mention of Pike.
Published works cited by Mr. Chaitkin and the LaRouche organization involving Pike with the Klan are secondary sources written years after the active Reconstruction Klan period. Ku Klux Klan, by Walter Fleming (1905) states that Pike was the Chief Judicial Officer of the Klan. A lurid pro-Klan history, the Authentic History Ku Klux Klan, 1865-77, written by Susan Lawrence Davis in 1924, cites Pike as the Grand Dragon of the Klan for the state of Arkansas and Chief Judicial Officer appointed by Klan founder, Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. This work is not footnoted, and the author does not cite her sources. All books which cite his alleged Klan activity were written after Pike's death.
Pike' s biographer, Fred W. Allsopp states that Pike only spent brief times in Arkansas after his Confederate service.
In 1867-1868, Pike worked in Memphis, Tennessee as editor of the Memphis Daily Appeal. In 1868 he moved to Washington, D.C. to become editor of The Patriot, a democratic newspaper, and to preside over the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, whose chief officer he remained until his death in Washington in 1891. Alleged involvement with the Arkansas Klan would have been very brief, if at all. Pike died at the old Scottish Rite House of the Temple near the current location of his statue. Sufficient documentation to record Pike's Klan activity is lacking. We may never find proof for the allegations of his involvement in the historical records.
Pike was prominent in Masonic circles, a prolific Masonic writer, and was well known in late 19th century Washington, D.C. Pike was pardoned for his actions as a Confederate general by President Andrew Johnson. Petitions of Masons from all over the country requested his pardon. He spoke his mind freely, expressing the beliefs and attitudes of his age. His statue reflects the ambiguities of the tragic Civil War Reconstruction Era.
The statue was originally erected on a Federal triangle at Third and Indiana Avenue, N.E. In 1975 the statue was moved slightly to its present location near the Department of Labor building after its original triangle had been removed to accommodate the Third Street underpass of the Federal mall. The statue is still on Federal property and maintained by the National Park Service.
The National Park Service does not have the authority to selectively remove authorized memorials from public view. Any proposal to remove a statue from the city would violate the authorizing legislation, and thus would have to be accomplished by a new act of Congress. The National Park Service maintains memorials to Lincoln, Grant, Frederick Douglass, and Robert E. Lee in the Washington area. There are monuments to both Union and Confederate military leaders on all the Civil War battlefields maintained by the Park Service across the country.
When informed of the allegations against Pike, noted Civil War historian Shelby Foote stated, "I don't believe in judging a man 100 years after his death. You have to look at him in his own time. " If Pike is condemned and demands are made for the removal of his statue because he may have been a member of the Ku Klux Klan, then the park Service may be asked to condemn and remove statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and many other Americans who owned slaves.
The Park Service in administering its historical sites is charged with presenting all sides of American history, and that sometimes includes interpreting long ago attitudes that are not popular or "politically correct" today. The public expression of all phases of our history is crucial if we are to maintain our cherished rights of freedom of expression, and if we are to understand our complex past. Otherwise, we become like totalitarian states, constantly revising history to justify tearing down statues of previous generations of leaders just to facilitate currently ideologies. Many of his rituals are known only to the Scottish Rite, and many are rarely performed today. All plead for toleration and acceptance of all religious viewpoints, and the absolute right of an individual to approach God in his own way, unimpaired by governmental interference. This is a much needed lesson in this era, when militant fundamentalists are attempting to manipulate government to establish as norm their own political viewpoint.

More on that statue!
In the February, 1993 issue of the Philalethes, we find this item:
Another good friend, and the most dedicated Master Mason it has been my pleasure to know, is Most Worshipful Howard L. Woods, a highly regarded Christian minister. His civic activities and many awards attest to his love of his fellow man. His ten years as Grand Master of Prince Hall Masons in Arkansas indicates the high esteem his Brethren hold him. Brother Woods was The Philalethes Society Lecturer in 1991, the only Prince Hall Mason to ever be so chosen.
The Albert Pike Statue: Let It Stand.
There is no love lost between Prince Hall Masons and the memory of the late Albert Pike, Masonic Historian, writer, alleged ritualist for the Ku Klux Klan, but, if Freemasonry is to remain the bulwark of free-thinking people, then, "Let the statue remain!"
Like the natures he wrote about, Albert Pike showed the light and dark sides of his own soul, when with one breath he spoke of his willingness to give up his Freemasonry rather than recognize the Negro as a 'Masonic Brother' and with another breath, declared that every man should be free, for a free man is an asset, while a slave is a liability. Mankind is that way, and as long as the statue stands, America and Freemasonry will survive.
Let the statue be torn down and America and Freemasonry will be in jeopardy, for one would have to wonder, "What would be next?" As a Prince Hall Mason, an African American and supposedly free-thinker, I can see a higher power than the mortal mind of Albert Pike guiding his pen as he wrote such beautiful words of life without an occasional helping hand from someone "bigger than you or I."
Let the statue stand, even if it is proven that Albert Pike did write ritual for the Ku Klux Klan; more ignoble deeds have been done by others without sacrifice of their historic heroism.
Let the statue stand as a reminder that the good and evil of men are in equilibrium within us, and we all should strive for perfection now and in the future, not in the past. Let the statue stand !
--Rev. Howard L. Woods, Grand Master, Prince Hall Masons of Arkansas.

July 16 is shaping up to be a big day for albums. In addition to Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name, Chris Brown has set a July 16 date for his sixth album X.
Breezy took to Twitter to make the announcement and surprised his fans by dropping a new song. On “I Can’t Win,” he sings about a relationship that has reached its breaking point.
“Tell me what did I do to make you hate me so much?/ Why you angry all the time?/ Why you don’t wanna ride for me?” he asks his girl.
But the song won’t appear on X. “Some shit I felt like writing that’s not on the album,” he explained. | <urn:uuid:4760028c-8428-4bd2-91e8-f7a17c4c6f28> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.rap-up.com/2013/04/29/chris-brown-announces-x-release-date-drops-new-song-i-cant-win/ | 2018-06-23T00:52:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864848.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623000334-20180623020334-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.975708 | 165 |

Hm, then it seems writing to COMPARE does not clear COUNT.
How about this? You should still fix pnx8550_hpt_read() anyway, but I
suppose gettimeofday() on PNX8550 was broken long time.

Information On American Sports Car Races
In sport, racing is usually a competition between an object, usually a horse, to reach a certain goal, usually a finish line. The contestants in a racing event attempt to reach a given goal within a certain time frame. The goal of the game may be as simple as winning the race, or achieving a fixed minimum speed. The competitors in racing events may compete not only for monetary prize money but for recognition in terms of being part of the particular sport that they are competing in.
Motor sports such as motor racing and endurance racing are very well-known and widely popular sports in most countries. One can find people taking part in these activities throughout the year, with some occasions offering extra special competitions during holidays or important events. For instance, theft 400cc is one of the world’s largest bike racing competitions, where the competitors attempt to complete their laps over a course of just 200 miles. Another well-known motor sport is Formula One car racing, where drivers try to race their Formula One cars across various courses, from the back of virtual Grand Prix venues to the streets of Monaco.
As mentioned above, there are many different types of motor sports, with each type having its own particular characteristics. Car racing is one of the most famous motor sports, with numerous television programs broadcasted and dedicated cable channels available for viewers to follow. NASCAR, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is the most popular NASCAR sports organization. The races are often referred to as “crew races” and “street races” since they take place on public highways. Street racing originated in Italy in the 1920s and became popular in the United States in the early decades.
Motor racing events are governed by a governing body, which appoints judges to score each race and determine the results. The most well-known of these governing bodies are the United States Auto Racing Association (USAR) and the World Motor Racing Council (WMS). The USAR governs over regular auto racing events, while the WMS oversees Formula One racing. The governing body for stock car racing events is the Automobile Club de l’Auto (ACI) and the governing body for motorcycle racing events is the Automobile Club of San Diego (ACBS). Both of these organizations are international organizations that monitor and publish race results.
Motor racing fans enjoy watching the competitions between rival automobile manufacturers and drivers from all over the world. Each year, several months or sometimes years are devoted to various motor racing events. The main article that you are reading is an informative and educational overview of the subject. You should educate yourself further about the subject of auto racing so that you can have as much knowledge and information as possible.
So, what is one-make racing? This article will help you answer that question. Automobile manufacturers create one-make racing series cars that they will only release for a limited time, typically around a season or two. Then the manufacturer releases another one for the following season, etc. In recent years, NASCAR and Indy racing have developed their own separate one-make racing series. | <urn:uuid:039e6614-1c98-4adc-85ea-e084136d1bb1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://blackbeargolfcomplex.com/information-on-american-sports-car-races/ | 2023-10-01T09:09:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510810.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20231001073649-20231001103649-00403.warc.gz | en | 0.962634 | 629 |

There are also 3 alliances between the cabals that allow advanced mixed deck permutations, not to forget the neutral cards that can be included in the deck of any cabal.
- A shamanic group that mixes Slavic mythologies with weird psychoanalytic mind control techniques. Allied with forces of arctic nature they are believed to be operating out of the western reaches of the Soviet Union.
- Consists of aristocratic Irish witches and subterranean faerie folk. Celtic folklore meets Arthurian legends with means of buffing themselves and transforming tiles into gates to the underground.
- Esoteric engineers applying modern scientific methods to their worship of an energetic principle force. Underground power plants, somewhere in Southern Germany, manufacture their massive, unstable and risk taking Hyperborean cyborgs!
- Versed in Medieval alchemy and Arabic wisdom, these apprentices look to attain total mastery over matter. Their magic brings extra cards and resource manipulation from their laboratories thought to be hidden in Southern Spain.
- Brings much needed nobility that is missing from other cabals. A lethal combination of brutal dragon spirit, disruption and surprise culminate in their powerful origins of Eastern Asia.
- Reaches out to ancient knowledge, astronomy and unimaginable strength that rarely leaves these dreadful priests empty handed. Their riches and ruthlessness originate from Northern Africa, allowing combinations of a deadly kind.

Review by Thomas Chouvenc
When you see someone passionate about a topic, it can humble you. Especially if this topic happens to be the one that you are also passionate about. Let me explain.
Recently, 660 Photographs of Termites and Their Control, by David Mora del Poso, was released, and I was fortunate enough to receive a physical copy of it. As I opened the book and gently flipped through the pages, my mind was immediately blown away by its beauty, its inherent poesy, and its deep dive into termite biology and complexity.
One thing that will be quickly apparent to you is that this book is not your usual lengthy textbook about the biology of a given bug. It is instead a fascinating compilation of photos that David took over decades during his time addressing termite pest problems around the world. Each picture published in this book tells us a fantastic story about the biology of termites, their inherent beauty, and their abilities. However, the storytelling is not performed through a dry academic approach; instead, it immerses you within live termite colonies using remarkable macro shots. It also opens your eyes to the rather difficult relationships that termite societies and human societies sometimes have.
For a 425-page book that weighs a little bit more than 2 kg, it sure is a heavyweight. However, the 400 first pages are a compilation of (amazing) pictures with reference numbers. On the last 25 pages, you will find a text corresponding to each of the 660 images found in the first 400 pages providing an explanation of what you see. The text is provided both in English and Spanish, which is a remarkable effort from David to reach a wider audience, as his proficiency in English is limited.
As you open the book randomly, you will be glued to the first page you see, then flip back and forth, until you realize you just spent 15 minutes doing so. This book does this to you. In the process, you are immersed in the biology of various termite species, primarily with infamous pest species within Coptotermes, Reticulitermes, Cryptotermes, Nasutitermes, Heterotermes, and a few other genera that David encountered during his work.
Macro shots will take you through the journey of the molting process of a worker, the complexity of the hatching process from an egg, the wing bud development and sclerotization of an alate, the transformation of a pre-soldier. Wider shots will show you the incredible complexity of nest structures, the intensity of swarming events, and the potential damage termites can do to structures and precious historical human artifacts.
This book also provides a unique insight into the world of termite control – not always the most visible or respected in the world of academia. With $40+ billion in yearly damage worldwide, termites are usually unaccepted in someone’s house, which is an attitude you cannot ignore as a termite researcher. The impact of termites on people is beautifully portrayed in David’s book. It reflects what can happen if some of the termite pest species interact with human societies.
David has spent more than 25 years dealing with termite pest problems around the world, and he has been instrumental in accomplishing something that no one else has accomplished. Since the advent of Chitin Synthesis Inhibitor Baits for subterranean termite pest species in 1995, there has been a fundamental change in the philosophy for termite control around the world. Instead of spraying a large amount of pesticides around structures and hoping for the best, baits now aim at eliminating the whole colony after termites feed on a ridiculously small amount of a termite-specific formulated baits. Beyond this cultural shift, area-wide baiting programs were proposed to create large termite-free zones. Such programs have been implemented in various places around the world, with mixed results, primarily because of logistical difficulties that are inherent to cultural hurdles of human political landscapes. The problem is often not the termite pest – it is how people are handling them and how conflicts of interest may defeat the attempt.
David is an exception. He successfully implemented a city-wide termite control program in several cities across Spain. Some of these cities have not seen termite damage since their implementation. This is quite remarkable, but what is even more impressive is that David documented the extensive implementation of these programs and provided a large chunk of these data in his book. Yes, there is a section that is dedicated to how he implemented area-wide termite control. To be honest, the work he documented leaves an amazing roadmap of how termite control should be done, with the utmost respect for the environment.
David Mora Del Pozo may not be well known from social insect research groups. Yet, with this book, David is leaving a unique legacy to inspire many future budding entomologists. On top of this, 660 Photographs of Termites and their Control has all the attributes you need for a proper display on a coffee table or as an entomo-gift for the holidays.

Cottage 183 Stoney Lake
This Ontario cottage rental is located on Lower Stoney Lake, the last cottage at the end of the road in for nice privacy! The pine interior features a large kitchen and eating area with walkout to deck and a large living area with stone fireplace and beautiful views. There are three bedrooms to the side, the master with a large picture window overlooking the lake and a three piece ensuite. The lot is large with a flat grassy area behind the cottage and a children’s play set to the side. From the cottage to the lake, it is gently sloped. There are lots of open areas- great for kids to run and play and great for lake views. The water is a shallow entry and there are weeds. The owners swim off the rocks and islands in the lake which are close enough to be paddled to. This is a lovely spot in which to relax in privacy and enjoy the view! | <urn:uuid:ef661461-8c0a-4ee8-a524-7286f83024b4> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://northerncomfort.com/properties/cottage-183-stoney-lake/ | 2023-04-02T04:50:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296950383.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230402043600-20230402073600-00642.warc.gz | en | 0.966224 | 194 |
UnNews:New natural history museum opens
28 May 2007
|UnNews Audio (file info)|
|Listen to this story!|
INBRED HOLLOW, Kentuckistan -- A brand new natural history museum has opened in Kentuckistan; a place that is generally recognised as the world centre for scientific progress, and is the home of such towering intellects as William Dembski and many a sunburned neck. This new museum is presenting natural history using the revolutionary and absolutely correct
theory fact of Intelligent Design. An apt title - in fact one might call it Original Intelligent Design, because ID is both intelligent and original. The man behind this revolutionary new museum is Ken Bacon, head of Answer’s in the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He’s taken time off from working in his Pastafarian ministry to help Christians spread their propaganda remarkable scientific ideas.
Not surprisingly many scientists, those people who never present any evidence that any of their theories are correct, and always work entirely on faith, say it is wrong. They pretend that they have mountains of evidence which backs up their absolutely incorrect
theory falsehood of neo-Darwinian evolution. This “evidence” includes fossil records consistent with the predictions of evolution and radioactively dated to prove guess how old they are, genetic evidence that helps create a tree of life and smartarse nonsensical scientific comments like: “why are the catalytically active parts of the protein synthesis system made out of RNA?” Nobody understands what that crap means!
Luckily, the ID proponents do have evidence: the Iron Age masterpiece known as the Holy Bible. The Bible provides plenty of proof that ID is right and that dinosaurs lived side by side with man – without eating him. It doesn’t say anything about dinosaurs in the Bible
because dinosaur fossils hadn’t been discovered when the Bible was written but that just provides even more proof that it’s correct.

There’s just no getting over the amazing realism that 3D tattoos can bring. With a talented artist on board, anything is possible! If you’re looking for a lifelike design to get inked, then you may find some inspiring stuff here. These tattoos are so lifelike that they will blow you away guaranteed!
It seems like in recent years, more, and more stuff is becoming 3D, from movies, to 3D printers, and now tattoos. This latest trend creates nothing short of astounding work. Tattoos that are designed to appear 3D are being praised for the detail, and artistic vision that goes into each and every one. With so many people getting tattoos in memory of loved ones, teams, or a special place or time, 3D tattoos are providing those interested with the chance to remember in even more detailed, and life than ever before. These tattoos will likely shock and awe you as you view the beauty and amazing detail that can be found in each one.
1. Pitbull Back Piece
For years, people have been getting tattoos to honor someone who has passed. Someone who has impacted their lives so tremendously, and deeply that their loss never fully heals. The loss of a pet truly is one of those losses. Having to say goodbye to your best friend, a friend that has been there through both the good, and the bad times, without hesitation, is an extremely difficult, and heart breaking thing to do. Many people are turning to 3D tattoos to capture the most life like version of their friend possible.
Why not use the impact that a 3D tattoo makes to make a true statement? If you are passionate about animal rights, or a specific endangered species, why not take advantage of these beautiful pieces, and share the beauty of these animals with everyone you meet? You can also shine a light on why you are so passionate about the animal that you had tattooed on you in the first place.
Paying homage to some of our favorite things is an extremely popular reason why people get the tattoos that they do. Why not create a whimsical design of your loves, and interests, and have it brought to life. Being able to show as much detail as possible, and have an impressively lifelike image created. This tattoo encompasses many things creating a mixture of biological and mechanical things.
This back piece appears to be comprised of stone and possibly a silver or pewter. The amount of detail in this back piece would have taken hours to create and perhaps there is a passion hidden in the ink of this master piece that we simply don’t know about.
Anyone would think this orange and black gecko was alive if they didn’t know any better. 3D tattoos create the awe inspiring illusion that something is there when it is only an image and requires a lot of talent to perform such amazing works of art.
Ouch! Those nails in this man’s collar bone look painful, and completely realistic thanks to the amazing shading.
7. Ankle Bows
Bows are always popular with women, however these bows take it one step further to add a bit of personalized fashion to this woman’s ankle. Now no matter what shoes she wears she can enjoy a touch of elegance.
This tattoo will likely receive a creepy vibe as it almost seems it is trying to claw its way out of the skin. The 3D effect of this tattoo is thanks to the level of extreme detail that was used to create the hand as well as the shading used to make it appear to be clawing across the skin.
Dragonfly tattoos have seen popularity on and off, but never in this much detail. The fast flying insects are the perfect tattoo for anyone who wants something to stand off the skin in vibrant colors.
Some find tattoos of eyes to be a big mistake, no matter how cool they are. However the amazing detail in this 3D eye can provide a chilling sensation to those around you and can even captivate an emotion that you wish to remember.
11. Torn Birds in Flight
The cracked and broken skin of this woman’s side appears to have birds living in it, but the effect that has been created in this tattoo is not only unique but amazing. Not only are the birds within the body, but they are also escaping.
12. Bear Paw
Even though this is more of a paw print than it is a paw, this bear paw tattoo looks incredibly realistic on this calf. Something of this nature would be great for someone who wants to show off a hobby of hunting or simply tracking different animals.
The Monarch Butterfly is probably the most easily recognized butterfly around, and while it may seem like this woman has a butterfly on her shoulder, it is only a 3D tattoo. This can make one of the most popular tattoos of choice pop as well as make it a unique one of a kind work of art.
14. Missing Pieces
Are their scales beneath the skin of this foot? While the scales don’t appear to be extremely realistic, the missing puzzle piece certainly jumps off the skin. As does the place the piece is missing.
15. Black Widow
Spider tattoos are always in style, and this 3D Black Widow tattoo certainly takes the cake. While the spider seems to be sneaking up and around this woman’s neck, it still holds the effects of being a tattoo.
Have you ever wanted to be a secret terminator? Now you can, with a 3D tattoo. The mechanical pieces in this tattoo don’t only provide a 3D effect, but the realistic idea that the pistons and other parts of the arm are operated mechanically.
17. Run Away
If you love fast moving cars, then maybe a 3D tattoo like this one is right for you. This racing car possesses an amazing 3D effect and even the money flying from the trunk appears to be worth more than it really is. You could almost reach out and grab it.
18. The Door Within
This unique tattoo really gives the impression of the inside looking out rather than the outside looking in. Don’t you think?
19. Ninja Turtle
Is Raphael your favorite ninja turtle? Then why not give him a realistic look in a 3D tattoo like this one.
20. Ribbon Nautical Star
This nautical star not only possesses a 3D appearance, but the ribbon swirling around it looks as if you could pull it away in a single swoop.
Scorpion tattoos are incredibly popular, but why not make yours unique by giving it more life. This scorpion tattoo really looks as though it could sting you if you tried to touch it.
This hook looks more painful than it really is with its 3D artwork. Yikes!
23. Little Blue Tree Frog
Tree frogs are incredibly beautiful, and while you will likely see many tree frog tattoos that look as though they are hanging off the arm or leg of someone, none possess the intricate detail that this tattoo possesses.
24. Beautiful Butterfly
Everyone loves the beauty of a butterfly, so why not make yours stand our even more.
25. Vortex Stripes
These stripes really look like they create a vortex through the arm of this person. They even seem to move if you look at them long enough.
26. Rosary Rose
Roses and Rosaries go together beautifully hand in hand. Each one compliments the other, and getting this tattoo with a 3D effect makes it even more beautiful.
27. Puzzling Studded Heels
These beautifully spiky heels certainly have a sharpness to them that is a little more than puzzling.
28. Killer King of Hearts
Aren’t you glad the king of hearts in your deck of cards isn’t this sharp? Talk about a killer card.
29. If Popeye Was Real
This realistically 3D tattoo of Popeye the Sailor has a frighteningly accurate feel to it. You could likely do a 3D style tattoo such as this one with any of your favorite cartoon characters.
30. Beautiful Newborn
Any new mom would be completely in love with a tattoo such as this one. The ability to hold their baby for an eternity is certainly a gift. And it looks so realistic that at first glance you may have thought there was a real newborn there.
31. Ruby Butterfly
Here is another beautiful 3D butterfly tattoo. This ruby colored monarch butterfly looks incredibly graceful perched on this girl’s shoulder.
32. Skull 3d Tattoo
Skulls never go out of style, but why not bring your tattoo alive by getting a more realistic version of the skull tattoo that you want. The amount of detail in this skull really makes it stand out beautifully.
33. Permanent Pencil
We have all seen writers and artists put their pencil behind their ear, and while this 3D tattoo is more cartoon like than the others we have seen here it still has a lively appearance to it. The way that it appears to irritate the section of skin it has pierced through as well as the blood surrounding the pencil give it a more realistic appearance.
34. Eye at the Back of the Head
Every want to take the saying of having “eyes in the back of your head” more literally? Then here is your opportunity. Why not get a realistic eye tattooed at the back of your head to help you keep an eye out on those around you. While many people would find this tattoo completely creepy, at least when placed at the back of the head you can grow hair over it to cover it when you need to.
35. Tattoo Machine
This American Traditional style coil tattoo machine looks incredibly realistic in a cartoon like way. Not only does this make it incredibly unique, but feel as though it is literally in front of you. The level of detail in this machine may appear simple, but in reality there is much more to it than meets the eye.
36. Pocket Watch
Watches are a wonderful symbol of time, and many people get intricate watches tattooed on them to remember a specific time in their lives. This is very popular with new fathers who tattoo the time that their children were born. Why not make your watch look more realistic by having it tattooed in 3D.
There is nothing that can suit a shutterbug more than a tattoo of their favorite camera which they can pretend to snap a picture with just for fun. While it isn’t uncommon for people to get tattoos that they can hold up to their face, this camera takes on a whole other life past the simply finger moustache.
38. Ladder to Nowhere
This ladder tattoo seems to descend into this man’s wrist and leads to what seems like nowhere, but the detail is completely uncanny. 3D tattoos such as this can allow you to make something simple into something spectacular.
This tattoo of the beautiful zodiac goddess, Aries, doesn’t simply have a 3D look to her, but rather she has a life of her own. Even the amount of detail in the apple in her hand is absolutely amazing. This is a unique twist on the popular zodiac tattoos that we are used to seeing and the combination of color and black and grey tattoo work creates a beautiful contrast.
Almost looks good enough to eat, if it wasn’t tattooed on this person’s foot. Consider getting a 3D tattoo of your favorite fruits as a unique homage to one of your favorite things. Strawberries take a lot of detail to get this 3D effect just perfect, and it is totally shocking how the colors and values have created something this amazing.
41. Little Widow
If you are afraid of spiders, then you may think this black widow is just a little too realistic for comfort. But the 3D effect makes it shocking and awe inspiring. While it may seem like something like this should be easy to make appear 3D, think again. The varying levels of blacks, greys, and whites used in this tattoo need to be perfectly blended to give it the look we see today.
42. Green Gecko
This little green gecko looks as though he is truly climbing this person’s leg. While he has a more artistic appearance to him, unlike the more realistic gecko we saw earlier, it still looks 3 dimensional. This is definitely a more traditional styled gecko like we are used to seeing from various tattoo shops.
43. Smoking Woman
Not only does this tattoo look extraordinarily realistic, but the lips and the roses possess a realism like no other tattoo we have seen so far. This kind of 3D tattooing not only can make the image jump from the skin, but as though it actually belongs there.
44. Sugar Skull Goddess
This sugar skull styled lady tattoo has the realistic look while appearing stylized like many other realistic tattoos as well as 3 dimensional. You will also notice the beautiful balance that the colors provide in this tattoo and how the green, flesh tones, and golds suit this tattoo without making it become overly blended.
45. Roses Have Thorns
If you aren’t too careful, this rose’s thorns may actually give you a shocking poke. You could almost pull one of the beautiful petals from the rose bud as well it is so amazing. The amount of detail that has been put into this rose tattoo to make it have the 3D effect certainly shows to provide the stunning tattoo that we see here.
46. Feathered Eye
This realistic bright green eye and feathers is a unique take on a 3D eye tattoo. Not only is it not staring outward like most eye tattoos, and the realism is uncanny.
Tattoos of ferocious big cats are a popular tattoo idea, but this 3D leopard takes the cake with its amazing detail. While many people have chosen the route of the lion or a jaguar, the leopard is a more unique choice. Simply the look of this big cats teeth is enough to make you fear being bitten.
48. Two Halves
While the ladies on this man’s chest may be a bit two faced, the amazing detail that has been put into the faces and hands create a uniquely 3D effect that really grabs your attention. Though we aren’t sure if there is someone trying to escape from between these two faces or if he is trying to get out of the chest, it is certainly one of a kind.
If you are looking for photo-realism, then this 3D tattoo certainly has it all. At first glance you may not have even realized that this was a tattoo until you saw the skin and other tattoos around the edge of the gorilla. You can really see the intelligence in the eyes of this gorilla which provides it that much more of a realistic feel.
50. Dream Catcher Anklet
Dream catcher tattoos are a wonderful choice for big dreamers, and this anklet certain captures the look and feel of real jewelry. While parts of this tattoo don’t appear realistic, it still gives the 3D vibe that each of these tattoos possesses.
51. Lady Bug
Lady bugs are pretty and are said to be a sign of good luck. So why not keep the good luck with you all the time with a realistic 3D tattoo of a lady bug. Not only does this tattoo capture the very real look and feel of the lady bug, if it weren’t for careful inspection you would think you could actually pick it up.
52. Red Haired Sugar Skull Goddess
Sugar skulls have become increasingly popular over the years and more and more people are getting them tattooed onto their bodies. So it is only natural that someone would take it a step further and get a tattoo of a fiery redhead with a sugar skull painted on her face. Not only does the artist of this tattoo have the difficult task of shading the face properly, but paying close attention to the intricate lines of the sugar skull as well.
53. King Cobra
This King Cobra tattoo is enough to give anyone the willies. But it isn’t the snake that gets us shivering in our boots, but rather the way the snake is tattooed in a way that it appears to enter and exit the skin creating a very 3D effect. If we didn’t know better, we would think that part of this man’s arm was all snake. Yikes!
54. Keeping Time
Pocket watch tattoos are incredibly popular for those who want to mark a specific date and time, however the inclusion of the bee and butterfly in this tattoo don’t exactly provide us with much information about what this person is trying to remember. They may simply like pocket watches and wanted this specific tattoo to be done in a 3D style.
This tattoo is scary accurate in the way that this 1920’s style mobster is ready to jump from this roof top. The level of amazing detail in this tattoo certainly shows how much time and patience was put into this entire piece and the photorealism that it possesses is partially responsible for the 3D effect that make it seem completely real.

Blind hymnist Frances Jane Crosby (who had over 100 different pseudonyms during her lifetime) wrote the lyrics to many popular Protestant Christian hymns. Extremely prolific, writing the text to more than 8,000 hymns, Crosby was also a well-known poet and public speaker in America.
Photo: Fanny Jane Crosby, public domain
Born in Putnam County, New York, Crosby was blinded due to an illness at the age of six weeks. Her father died when she was one years old, and she was raised in the Methodist faith by her mother and grandmother. She remained a very active member of the Methodist church throughout her life. At the age of eight, she began writing poetry. Crosby always wrote several poetry and hymn texts at once in her head and dictated the text to someone else to write down.
When she was 15, Frances enrolled in the New York Institute For the Blind, where she learned to sing and play the piano and guitar.
Crosby's texts became both hymns and popular songs. She is especially known for writing the texts to many of George Frederick Root's song, including "There's Music in the Air" and "Rosalie, the Prairie Flower." She wrote her first hymn in 1863 and wrote over 8,000 hymn texts throughout her lifetime, including "Blessed Assurance, "Jesus is Tenderly Calling You Home," and "To God Be the Glory."
Crosby wrote the following of her physical condition:
"Oh what a happy soul I am, Although I cannot see; I am resolved that in this world Contented I will be.
How many blessings I enjoy, That other people don't; To weep and sigh because I'm blind, I cannot, and I won't." | <urn:uuid:f99a5bdb-0203-4463-85f0-d4fc56eae032> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://songofamerica.net/writer/crosby-frances-jane | 2017-09-21T04:54:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687642.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20170921044627-20170921064627-00073.warc.gz | en | 0.986843 | 368 |

Hometown Farmers Market - Tamaqua, PA
If an alien landed from outer space and wanted to quickly find out what toy happened to be trendy at the time, he or she should land their UFO at the Hometown Farmers Market. Whatever the hot toy happens to be, there will be about 200 vendors selling bootleg versions of it. When I was a kid, it was plastic bell clip charms and slap bracelets. Today, it's Fidget Spinners... or Krazy Spinners... or Kool Spinners. | <urn:uuid:79b32002-247b-4306-a91f-0cfb8538f968> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.neonrocketship.com/2017/05/get-your-spinners-here-no-refunds.html | 2021-06-22T00:47:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623488504969.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20210622002655-20210622032655-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.935312 | 107 |
Abu Dhabi: A pilot phase programme will see several public schools teaching French as part of a broader plan to introduce French language in all public schools in the UAE.
The announcement was made on Tuesday during a press conference about the second phase of the UAE-France Cultural Dialogue, which was held at the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Officials who attended included Noura Al Kaabi, Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development, and Jean-Yves Le Drian, French minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs.
“The UAE celebrates the centennial of the founding father late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the leader who laid the first foundations of the UAE-France relationship that bore witness to a comprehensive renaissance in all fields,” said Al Kaabi.
“The bilateral relationship between both countries has evolved into strategic partnerships in political and economic fields on one hand, and in cultural, artistic and educational fields on the other,” she added, lauding the ties between the UAE and France.
Al Kaabi said the pilot programme was being reintroduced for the first time since 1988. “With the beginning of the new academic year, which began a few days ago, and as part of the outcome of the first phase of the dialogue, we are pleased to reintroduce French language in a number of Emirati public schools as a pilot phase for the first time since 1988, in the hope that this will open the way to teaching French in all public schools in the future.”
Speaking on what to expect from the second phase of the cultural dialogue, Al Kaabi said that emphasis would be placed on subjects such as artificial intelligence and the preservation of endangered cultural heritage.
“The second phase of the culture dialogue will focus on two key topics — arts and artificial intelligence, and protecting endangered cultural heritage, in line with our efforts in supporting International Alliance for the Protection of Heritage in Conflict Areas (ALIPH) for the protection of cultural endangered heritage around the world.
“It will also include a series of theatrical, artistic and musical events. Both our countries believe that art is a common language that brings people from around the world together. It is a language that everyone understands,” she added.
There are plans for an Emirati cultural week in Paris in October. “As we are committed to raising awareness of the French people about our rich Emirati culture, we are organising an Emirati cultural week in Paris this October to highlight the cultural harmony between France and the UAE and to showcase our contemporary art and culture,” Al Kaabi said.
Meanwhile, Le Drian said he was looking forward to continuing the cultural exchanges with the UAE, calling the dialogue between both countries a major success so far.
“We want to create a new momentum with the launch of the second phase of the cultural dialogue … Having this dialogue in 2018 also allows us to join the UAE in celebrating the Year of Zayed, a great friend of France.”
“The Louvre Abu Dhabi — the first universal museum in the Arab world is the most beautiful example of the exchange of culture and civilisations,” he added.

8 Best Car Title Loans in Lynwood, CA
- 3.5(10)10525 Long Beach Blvd #2570, Lynwood, CA 90262, United States“Last night I got locked out of my apartment for a few days as my roommate left to Arizona. We only have one set of Keys and he took it with him by accident. Thank god amor is open so late because I had left my wallet in the house. I explained to them the situation and they completely understood. All I had on me of value were some diamond studs which I had to pawn for the time being to buy some food and a hotel room for 2 nights. They offered me $550. I really needed $600 and they went ahead and gave me the extra $50. This was my first time at a pawn shop and I had one of the best experiences ever. They treated me better then I get treated at my local Wells Fargo. I highly suggest this place when stuff like this happens.”

The Black Angels
Directions to See A Ghost
(05.2008, Light In The Attic)
Verdict: Stoner rock with less rock and more stone
I listen to a lot of stoner psych rock for someone who doesn't even smoke the ganja. There is something about the gritty dirty raw sexiness of nasty pysch blues smut that just really does it for me, ya know? As gross as that last sentence sounded, it was true, Black Angel's previous album, Passover, was the go-to album if all else on my ipod was failing me and I just needed a little sure fire rock to reassure my love for music again. The thing is, I am not amazed or in love with their music nor do I think it's beautiful. In fact, I think it's fairly ugly, and it's pretty scary sounding. So why do I love it so? Must be satan. In fact, my very favorite quote I have read about this album was the New Music Express talking about how it was evil sounding and "the sexiest soundtrack to selling your soul you could ever imagine." Now if that doesn't sound appealing! Well, let's get to the point. Directions to See A Ghost is more in lines with an epic than a simple rock album. Droney and slow like honey, it's rhythmic feedback laden tidal wave of sound is sure to hypnotize you, but don't let it's snare take you so fully that you are too dazed to notice the small changes in The Black Angels on this, their sophomore release. The instrumentation is more varied and the album flows from track to track rather than being a collection of singles like Passover seemed more to be. I think if you listen really carefully you may even hear the singer sing more than one note, but I'm not sure. I may have just been dreaming under The Black Angels psych spell.

King Agamemnon is long dead and his murderers rule at Argos. His son Orestes returns from exile to kill themuhis own mother Clytemnestra and her seducer Aegisthus. Thus he will release his sister Electra from oppression and reclaim his home and kingdom.
This is the only episode from Greek legend treated in surviving plays by all three of the great Athenian tragedians of the fifth century B.C.uAeschylus in his Libation-bearers (part of the Oresteia trilogy), Sophocles and Euripides each in plays called Electra. Together these plays give us a unique opportunity to compare and contrast the very different treatments by the three playwrights of a central Greek legend. In SophoclesÆ hands the focus of the play is on Electra herself: her endurance and loyalty to the dead Agamemnon while oppressed and persecuted by Clytemnestra and Aegistus; her intense grief when she believes Orestes dead; her equally intense joy when she discovers him actually at her side; her final deliverance through his triumphant execution of vengeance on the murderers.
But is there more to the play than this story of triumphant revenge and restorations? The introduction of this book includes a survey of the main interpretative issues, as well as a summary of other treatments of the myth and a discussion of the problematic question of dating. The commentary, which is based on the translation, elucidates the action.
I: The myth
II: The play
III: This edition
Electra: Dramatis personae, text and translation
this is a splendid edition, a good read for anyone interested in the play and a good text for students at any level.'

Wanle Gamers Console for iPhone
Price: £18.99 from fave.co/2xQoMNe
Available for every iPhone model from 6 to X, the Wanle Gamers Console for iPhone is undeniably a conversation piece, although experience tells me that some of those conversations might occasionally involve someone sternly telling you to shut up. From what I can tell, the ‘Sound’ button doesn’t actually silence the case, which means you should never expect to play the 27 games packed
within while you’re in a hushed reception room or waiting for a movie to begin. It might start chirping when you slip it in your pocket or when you hold the phone the ‘wrong’ way when making a call.
Wanle’s case looks like a Game Boy from a few feet away, right down to the yellow-green display and the two jauntily slanted grey buttons perched below the directional pads and action buttons. You have to flip your phone upside down in order to play it – as the rear camera hole would get in the way of the Wanle case’s screen if held normally – but otherwise that’s all it takes to start enjoying the games. The only real setup involves slipping one of the two coin‑sized batteries that come with the package into the case, attaching the case to your phone, and hitting the power button.
Just don’t expect a Game Boy-like gaming experience with its £18.99 price tag. It may look like Nintendo’s handheld device, but Wanle’s case has far more in common with the little one‑off handheld games on sale in the 1980s, where the basic action and graphics barely changed and you sometimes had to use your imagination to get the most of out if. In other words, if you’re planning on slapping down cash on this so you can play Game Boy classics such as Super Mario Land, Gargoyle’s Quest, or Battletoads, you’ve seriously got the wrong idea.
The Wanle case’s screen looks to simpler times, in stark contrast to the iPhone’s retina screen and TrueDepth camera that scans faces and lets you play Fortnite. From a distance, in fact, you could easily mistake almost all 27 Wanle games for Tetris.
It’s all so abstract that it’s not always clear which game you’re playing. That’s partly because the games don’t even have names. Instead, each game corresponds to an arbitrary letter of the alphabet and you need to scroll one at a time to select one. As you scroll, the bricks at the top rearrange themselves to resemble a letter while the ones in the middle act out a preview of the game you’ll play. Meanwhile, the bricks at the bottom spell out the level you’ll start at, which can be changed by pressing the left or right buttons on the D-pad. Somehow, the system manages to be simple and confusing at the same time.
I scrolled to ‘E’ to find the Frogger knock‑off, in which I manoeuvred a single block through rows of moving bricks. The letter ‘D’ let me play a Galaga clone, although I had to imagine the missiles since they
didn’t show up on screen. Games I‑Z are all variants on Tetris, ranging from the standard tile‑matching puzzler to one that made the stack of blocks move to the right every few seconds.
As for its actual effectiveness as a case? It depends. Aside from the fact that it saddles you with two screens to worry about (and Wanle’s is extraordinarily prone to scratches), the case itself seems perfectly capable taking a few punches as long as they’re aimed at the iPhone’s back. It’s thick, for one, and the rubbery buttons may even allow for a little ‘bounce’ when it falls. (My one real problem is that the circular battery is visible through the white version of the case.)
While it might protect the back, however, I wouldn’t put too much faith in this case as a defender against shattered screens. Since it rests flush against the front of the phone, there’s little protection against dreaded display-down drops. And considering that the iPhone’s display faces the pavement when you’re playing the case, that’s more than a little terrifying. One careless drop in a moment of frustrated gaming, and boom, there’s an expensive screen repair on your hands.
But in certain, specific instances, it’s a case I’d like to use. When I’m out with friends and that inevitable moment comes up when I whip out my phone to check the time or take a photo, I’m almost certain one of those friends is going to notice it. In fact, I’m almost as certain that one of them will want to talk about it and probably want to give it a try. Though if I’m being honest, I’ll be watching them closely the whole time to make sure they don’t drop it, which kind of defeats the purpose of it being a case.
The Wanle Gamers Console is too prone to making noises at inopportune times for use as a daily carry, and its dicey display protection makes it a dubious candidate for protection. Still, it does a remarkable job of looking like a Nintendo Game Boy and the games, while simple, are fun and varied. Plus, considering you can pick one up for just under £19, it’ll make a fun conversation piece for parties or outings with friends. Leif Johnson
That’s basically Frogger, believe it or not
The case doesn’t extend far past the display, which means you’ll likely be in trouble if your phone hits the ground screen-first | <urn:uuid:f7165f1a-ce9d-4efe-8c38-c91107e1f019> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.pressreader.com/uk/ipadiphone-user/20180622/281938838632450 | 2018-11-17T13:18:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743521.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117123417-20181117145417-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.92987 | 1,252 |

Is Your ENT Practice Ready For A New EHR?
Whether you are starting out with Electronic Health Records (EHR) to replace paper records or you are replacing an existing EHR system, finding the right solution can seem overwhelming. Planning your specific needs, goals and understanding the overall impact of a new EHR on your otolaryngology practice will make the transition process go smoother and increase your chance of success.
Here are four questions to keep in mind as you prepare your ENT practice for an EHR implementation.
Is your ENT practice ready for a transition?
Here are a few up-front questions to consider: Are your administrative processes fully documented? You cannot get to where you want to be without knowing how you are doing things presently. An otolaryngology practice has particular workflows, including surgical workflows for head and neck surgery.
What might prevent your staff from using new software? Are you still using paper charts? If there are technology gaps, consider investing in additional computer training.
Can the practice able handle additional financial costs? Are there staffing changes, such as new doctors, that may add expenses? Computer and testing hardware may need to be updated. There may be a loss in productivity during the implementation process. Even after the new system goes live, it may take time to fully experience workflow benefits.
Who will be part of the core implementation team?
A designated leadership team can make or break an EHR implementation process. Their task is to gather information for the project and to assist in the workflow development.
The implementation team can be comprised of clinical and practice management staff within your various departments. For smaller ENT practices, the leadership team may include the entire staff. Regardless of who is part of the implementation team, the members must have the authority to make decisions on how the transition will take place.
A physician champion should help lead or support the cause for implementing the EHR. Designating a specific person (or persons) to answer questions and assist others throughout the transition will make things easier and encourage staff participation. One lead member should have the responsibility to make final decisions in the case of any conflicts that may arise.
What are your goals?
Electronic health records provide many advantages. Establishing key goals for implementation should be made early and modified as necessary throughout the process. The goals set by the leadership team should be measurable and realistic.
A common goal is to convert patient information from paper records for easier access to clinical data. There is also the opportunity to improve workflow and to improve communication with affiliated hospitals, other clinics, labs and pharmacies. Another goal is to participate in Meaningful Use, Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and other quality programs, where data must be recorded to qualify for government incentive payments. Of course, improved quality of health care and patient satisfaction is the overarching goal.
Who will be your vendor?
With the initial goals set, it comes time to vet prospective EHR providers. A specialty-specific EHR for otolaryngologists includes forms and templates tailored to the specialty, including thyroid evaluation, sleep apnea, sinusitis, hearing loss and more. Does the system include a patient portal with educational materials, such as sinusitis, allergy information and more?
What type of EHR platform do you want to use? Client-server systems store data in-house and requires computer hardware and software be installed on-site. In a cloud-based system, the data is stored externally and can be accessed from anywhere, only requiring a computer with an internet connection. Practices are increasingly turning to cloud-based EHRs for IT resource savings, improved accessibility and security reasons.
A certified vendor has the functionality and security necessary for practices to achieve Meaningful Use (MU) and qualify for government incentive payments. After narrowing down your options of certified EHRs, discuss your goals and expectation with the vendor to ensure that the service will accomplish your practice’s goals.
An EHR implementation can only go as well as its initial preparation. Evaluating workflow needs and practice goals are the most crucial steps when starting a transition.So, how are you preparing your ENT practice for your new EHR? | <urn:uuid:a1efa958-c88c-4418-a9f9-c3503fba16c3> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.ent-cloud.com/ent-practice-ready-new-ehr/ | 2022-06-27T15:26:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103334753.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220627134424-20220627164424-00215.warc.gz | en | 0.936305 | 855 |
A group of 100 Hudsonville middle school students touring Washington, D.C. were just three blocks away from Wednesday's deadly shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Museum, a school leader said.
The museum also was the next stop on the itinerary for the students, according to a Hudsonville parent with a daughter on the trip.
The students were unaware of the shooting rampage until one parent called to make sure they were safe, Superintendent Roxanne DeWeerd said.
That prompted students and chaperones to call home and the school so that no other parents or administrators would become concerned, DeWeerd said.
"They called to say they were safe and we were happy to hear that. The kids weren't in harm's way. They really didn't even know what was going on," she said.
About 50 students from both Baldwin Street and Riley Street middle schools are four days into a week-long tour of the East Coast, said Tami Talsma, whose eighth-grade daughter is on the trip.
Talsma said the students were leaving an art museum when a lone gunman opened fire at the Holocaust Museum.
"The kids were all in good spirits," Talsma said. "They didn't realize how bad it was because they weren't near a TV at the time."
She lauded the teachers' response to the incident.
"Those kids were protected and the teachers did a fabulous job with the kids, having them call their parents," Talsma said.

It’s no secret that the Hollywood Comet loves musicals.
In 2010, I revealed I had seen 400 movie musicals over the course of eight years. Now that number is over 500. To celebrate and share this musical love, here is my weekly feature about musicals.
This week, Comet Over Hollywood is celebrating Halloween with slightly more offbeat horror films.
This week’s musical:
“The Worst Witch”
Central Independent Television
Robert Young (not the actor)
Diana Rigg, Tim Curry, Charlotte Rae, Fairuza Balk, Sabina Franklin, Su Elliot, Danielle Batchelor, Anna Kipling
Young witch Mildred Hubble (Balk) is in her first semester at Miss Cackle’s (Rae) Academy for Witches. The clumsy young witch means well, but constantly is getting into mischief as she makes mistakes or accidentally creates mishaps. Some of her mistakes include making herself invisible instead of creating a laughing potion or turning her mean classmate Ethel (Kipling) into a pig. When all of the other girls are given black witches kittens, Mildred even ends up with a grey and white tabby.
Her stern teacher Miss Hardbroom (Rigg) thinks Mildred isn’t trying hard enough and creates the messes on purpose.
While Mildred is suffering from her mishaps, Miss Cackle’s evil twin sister Aggie (also Rae), is plotting to take over the school and make the students evil witches.
When it is announced the Grand Wizard (Curry) is coming to the school for the Halloween celebration, Mildred practices hard so she can be in the flying broomstick presentation. But stuck-up Ethel works to sabotage her and get Mildred expelled.
-Originally aired on Nov. 1, 1986, on HBO.
-Based off the children’s books series by Jill Murphey. Murphey adapted the stories from her own experiences at school- changing chemistry to potions or singing to chanting.
-Filmed at St. Michael’s College in Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, England, UK
-A UK television show was made using the story and ran from 1998 to 2001.
-Any scene with Tim Curry, especially his hilarious song “Anything Can Happen on Halloween”
-One of the writers of the script or the original story must have been a fan of bandleader Kay Kyser. One of the spells starts with “Ish Kabbible” which is the name of one of Kyser’s popular band mates.
-The Worst Witch (Growing Up Isn’t Easy) performed by Bonnie Langford — the theme of the movie, and it reminded me of “Hardknock Life” from “Annie”
-Queen Aggie’s School performed by Charlotte Rae — it’s not a good song, but it will get stuck in your head, and Rae is humorous
-Anything Can Happen on Halloween performed by Tim Curry — the song is so hilarious bad that it’s terrific
I know, this is not your sparkling, Hollywood, Freed-unit movie musical, but I thought I would throw a bit of nostalgia your way for Halloween.
I don’t know about you, but I remember watching “The Worst Witch” on the Disney channel when it would air around Halloween. Revisiting the hour long TV special for Musical Monday brought back some fond memories.
“The Worst Witch” truly is delightful. Admittedly, it’s not the best script you will ever read and the songs are very silly, but it is so much fun.
The child actresses do a fairly good job (though they are frequently whiny), and the snobbish bully plays a character that is easy to dislike.
Diana Rigg does a wonderful job playing the hard, stern teacher with a beautifully deep voice. Twenty years after her “Avengers” days, she is (of course) still looking beautiful, even in a witch’s get-up.
And Charlotte Rae is so much fun in her dual role– one a proper English headmistress of the Witch Academy and the other, an evil redneck witch with a Southern accent.
But of course, though his role was maybe 10 minutes, Tim Curry’s random but memorable appearance is my favorite performance.
He flies in, drops the mic by singing a ridiculous song that has special effects only found in the 1980s and includes the lyrics “Your dentist could turn into a queen. Has anybody scene my tambourine? Maybe I will play, ‘Begin the Beguine.’
Curry’s brief performance is just so deliciously campy that I couldn’t help giggle the whole time.
“The Worst Witch” is only an hour long and a cute story to accompany your Halloween. | <urn:uuid:54c9b2a8-8c52-4322-8c6e-6940d8670964> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://cometoverhollywood.com/2014/10/27/halloweek-musical-monday-the-worst-witch-1986/ | 2021-01-16T15:55:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703506697.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210116135004-20210116165004-00175.warc.gz | en | 0.92808 | 1,035 |

We were already entered for Stafford when Captain won at Chepstow. We decided that afterthe surprising result at Chepstow a clear XC would be nice. So we decided to run at Stafford, although would withdraw if the ground was unsuitable. Stafford has a spring event often held in the wet, which makes a nightmare for organisers to get the ground back good in just a few months, after a severe galloping over by 900 horses.
We arrived and found not only had they done wonders spiking and airiating the ground they had also had much more rain that we have had. The ground was very good indeed.
Captain had a mild spook at the flowers in the dressage, resulting in me backing off him a bit, although I didn’t ride him as well as at Chepstow he was still foot perfect for 8th place and a score of 28.
This was followed by a careful clear SJ with a major spook at the butterfly jump not like him to spook at jumps, he was feeling well.
I walked the XC, it was bigger than Chepstow, plus there were more jumping efforts and it was much more technical, 2 fences on turns to skinnies, a double of skinnies in front of a step down, a decent corner and a wide roll top in front of a sunken road with step in and out. Plus the water with a fence before and after, although the fence before, wasn’t pointing directly into the water, which I hoped would reduce the spook factor.
Captain jumped really well, spooky at times but he’s so brave and careful. He jumped a super clear and finished in 4th place.

Two utility firms have received significant fines after pleading guilty to roadworks offences.
Somerset County Council is responsible for managing the road network and prosecuted Verizon UK Ltd and Western Power Distribution as part of its commitment to minimising disruption and keeping the public safe.
The cases, heard at Taunton Magistrates on Wednesday 22 January, were:
Taunton Road, Bridgwater
Verizon UK Ltd pleaded guilty to one offence under S56 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA) for failing to comply with a direction on timing issued by Somerset County Council.
This relates to unauthorised roadworks on 25 April 2019 which led to substantial disruption on Taunton Road – described by magistrates as unacceptable both to the people of Bridgwater and the local economy.
Verizon were fined £30,000 and ordered to pay £1,841 in costs and a victim surcharge of £170.
Longforward Lane, Kingstone, Ilminster
Western Power Distribution pleaded guilty to one offence under S65 of NRSWA 1991 for failing to comply with the safety requirements of the Code of Practice.
This related to works on 8 May 2019 which magistrates said posed a real risk to the safety of the public and site operatives.
WDP were fined £20,000 and ordered to pay £1,730 in costs and a victim surcharge of £170.
Councillor John Woodman, Somerset County Council Cabinet Member for Highways, said: “If you want to work on our highways, you have to do it in the right way. These were both serious offences – one which caused considerable, unnecessary disruption on an exceptionally busy road, while the other directly put people’s safety at risk.
“I’m pleased to see significant fines handed out and hope this sends a strong message that we will take action when it is in the public interest to do so.”

I'm not well-informed as to the current state of affairs on the ground in Iraq, but there is an important general point that is not being made.
The USA and its allies invaded Iraq with the stated justification that the existing regime was a danger. As I wrote earlier, that is a reasonable justification. One can certainly argue whether the invasion was advisable, but I accept that it was justifiable.
However, whatever strategic interest the allies have in what happens in Iraq, the Iranians have more. Expecting the government of Iran to stand idly by while western countries attempt to fashion a new government there is not only unrealistic but unfair. Of course Iran is going to seek out allies among the factions struggling for influence, and of course it is going to support them, and, in a a situation of civil war, of course that support is going to involve arming them as well as funding them. It would be stupidly reckless of the Iranian government not to arm its allies in Iraq.
Now, if, as is alleged, Iranian-backed groups are fighting against US and British forces in Iraq, there is a problem that needs to be addressed. But pure outrage that Iran could seek to challenge the "rightful invaders" of Iraq will not do. The same logic that puts American and British guns in Iraq puts Iranian ones there too.
One could argue that Iran should refrain from intefering based on an ideal of absolute subservience to the U.N., which recognises the current Iraqi government. I challenge the commentators most hostile to Iran to make that argument with a straight face: I would be quite unable to do so myself.
Alternatively one could take an absolute imperialist line, and say that a Pax Americana is being imposed in Iraq, it will all be for the best, and everybody else better help, stay out of the way, or be squashed. I think that is the line that is taken in effect by the hawkish commentators, but I'm not sure they are really doing so consciously. Not that it would necessarily be a bad thing if such a peace could be imposed without local allies or compromises, but I am sure it is practically out of the question.
I would favour an acceptance that Iran has legitimate strategic interests in the internal struggles of Iraq, and a positive outcome is more likely to flow from some level of cooperation and compromise. Such an approach is made more difficult by the hysterical rhetoric that both parties have used against the other, as well as by the outstanding dispute over Iran's nuclear ambitions. At the very least, Iran will be seeking assurance that a powerful enemy is not being created on its border, either in the form of a hostile Iraqi administration, or an American base for further aggression. Neither seems likely to me, but governments of every country tend towards the paranoid in assessing the intentions of such unstable regimes.
If the USA does not make it absolutely clear that it has no intention of attacking Iran, then the natural assumption is that it does have such an intention. And that being the case, it would be an essential act of self-defense for Iran to attempt to prevent such an attack by keeping Iraq too unstable. And then, of course, that would be used to show that Iran is part of the problem and that regime change there would be desirable.
The only case in which it would make sense to make a fuss about Iran's interference in Iraq would be if it was insignificant. In that case it can be used to build up opinion for an attack on Iran, while forcing the interference to continue to escalate wouldn't matter because it's not significant anyway. If it is a major problem, the only way to stop it would be to not make a fuss about it, but to try to assure Iran that it is safe. Threats will not be successful, as the more Iran is threatened, the more incentive it has to keep Iraq unstable.
Iran could be expected to favour an outcome in Iraq of a stable representative government, provided it is confident that would not lead to an American leader saying "we have achieved what we set out to do in Iraq, we no longer need the army in Iraq, let's do the same now to Iran, after all it worked in Iraq."

This has been a bad week for Team Trump. First, it looks like his “special master” request is falling apart now that it is under some real scrutiny and skepticism. This coming as a judge who wasn’t appointed by the twice impeached former POTUS is looking at the matter. Next, Trump and his children, along with a couple of other allies, are being sued by the State of New York for alleged fraudulent dealings that spanned decades. Now, another Trump ally, Tom Barrack, who was charged with being a corrupt unregistered foreign agent, doing it for “money and power” had his trial begin — and prosecutors didn’t paint a pretty picture.
At issue is Barrack’s dealings with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and using his access to the former president to gain money and power. Barrack, a California billionaire, and his former assistant Matthew Grimes “met with and took directions from” the UAE during a two-year period that started in 2016, Assistant U.S. Attorney Hiral Mehta told jurors in Brooklyn federal court.
According to MSN, Mehta went further:
In court filings, prosecutors said the former president and Barrack have been friends for decades and UAE officials moved to take advantage of that relationship when Trump was running for president during the 2016 campaign cycle.
At the behest of UAE officials, Barrack leveraged his friendship with Trump to get language about the importance of working with “our Gulf allies” inserted in Trump’s campaign speech about energy in 2016, Mehta told jurors.
When he served as chair of Trump’s inaugural committee, Emirati officials also pressed Barrack for details on who he’d pick for various high level jobs, including CIA director and at the State and Defense departments, the prosecutor said.
He also provided UAE officials with sensitive information, including internal discussions within the Trump administration concerning the blockade of Qatar by the UAE, Mehta said.
And as Barrack was assisting the Emirati government, it was investing tens of millions of dollars in his private equity fund, the prosecutor added. When he was asked by the FBI about his dealing with UAE officials and the actions he’d taken, Barrack “started lying” and “lied and lied again.”
Barrack’s attorney has called the charges “ridiculous” and added that he did what he did “because he wanted to.”
His assistant Grimes’s attorney tried to paint his client as “an intern” essentially, shifting the focus back on his boss.
Jurors will hear evidence in this trial, which is expected to last about 5 weeks. After that, it will be their duty to decide if Barrack and/or Grimes were just “doing business” or working as corrupt unregistered foreign agents for the goal of gaining money and power. | <urn:uuid:a975dec0-b262-4f32-8362-15ee03bfbfd4> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.lancastercourier.com/2022/09/21/trial-begins-for-corrupt-unregistered-foreign-agent-billionaire-trump-ally-tom-barrack/ | 2022-10-06T04:45:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337723.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006025949-20221006055949-00288.warc.gz | en | 0.986107 | 613 |

Greenland is mulling independence. While enjoying wide autonomy within the Kingdom of Denmark with its own parliament since 2009,. Greenland still faces two serious economic problems standing on its way to full-fledged sovereignty, namely the need to make itself less dependent on financial assistance from Copenhagen ($620 million), and reduce its overdependence on revenues from shrimp and halibut fishing.
These two problems are closely intertwined. Greenland is a world leader in terms of per capita volume of marine resources, with 25 percent to 50 percent of its working-age population engaged in fish and seafood production, which account for at least 87 percent of the island’s exports, 89 percent of which go to Denmark.
Greenland’s lopsided economy is unable to fully ensure the islanders’ financial viability as almost half of the local government’s social expenses are subsidized by Denmark.
With the island’s foreign, defense and economic policy being steered by Copenhagen, the only way to diversify the local economy is to expand foreign economic activity and develop additional industries. The Greenlandic authorities believe that the involvement of foreign partners could help develop the local mining sector, but they are hamstrung by Denmark, which has a final say in choosing such partners.
The Greenlandic government in Nuuk (the capital of Greenland) sees the export of land resources as holding the economic key to the island’s future independence, with China viewed as the most promising partner willing to develop the local mining and transport sectors (1).
China sees itself as a "Near-Arctic State" (2) and its experts believe that the emergence of an independent Greenland on the world map over the next decade is a likely prospect (3).
Nuuk and Beijing have reached an agreement on China upgrading the airports in Nuuk, Ilulissat and Qaqortoq and the development of the Kvanefjeld deposit with an estimated 200,000 tons of uranium ore.
However, this gives rise to a certain contradiction between the right to use land resources granted to Greenland by Copenhagen, and Denmark’s right to determine the island’s defense policy. Meanwhile, Nuuk and Copenhagen are trying to figure out whether proposed uranium mining and airport modernization by Chinese investors is economic or defense-related. (4)
Greenland has a strategic importance as a source of rare earth metals and a gateway to the Arctic. Denmark remains an Arctic power as long as it owns Greenland. Therefore, in its effort to enlist US support, Copenhagen emphasizes that Greenland is part of the North American continent.
Greenland is built into Washington’s security architecture as an element of perimeter defense, which, besides Greenland proper, also includes Canada. Washington’s 1948 offer to buy Greenland for $100 million (declined by Denmark) underscores the island’s geopolitical significance for the United States.
Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland ensures the security of the northeastern flank of the United States and Canada, while simultaneously allowing Canada to “break free” from US “encirclement,” which facilitates the US-Canadian dialogue on Arctic-related issues and strengthens Ottawa’s negotiating position. While officially favoring Denmark’s continued sovereignty over Greenland, Washington may still be mulling, albeit tacitly, the possibility of interacting with the authorities of the would-be independent Greenland. In the latter case, Washington hopes that, unable to establish full-fledged law enforcement agencies of its own, the local government in Nuuk would entrust its defense to the Pentagon.
Just like Iceland, whose defense capability is guaranteed by NATO, Greenland could eventually gravitate towards rapprochement with or even membership of NATO. This prospect will hardly sit well with Canada, which wants to expand its footprint in the Arctic and would hate to see the emergence of competitors building up ties with Greenland as a pretext for their presence in the region.
Advocates of Greenland’s independence favor the introduction of military conscription in the coast guard, rescue services and patrol units. However, even if, taking cue from Denmark where 0.43% of the population serves in the army, Greenland calls up a similar number of conscripts, its armed forces will still not exceed 250 people. Therefore, the lack of a defense-demographic potential is seen as a serious hurdle on the way to the island’s hypothetical independence.
That being said, the clock is still ticking in favor of Greenland’s eventual independence from Denmark, with global warming accelerating ice loss on the island, opening ice-free areas to potential mining projects.
Greenland is also important in terms of meteorological studies as the island’s climate impacts weather forecasting in Europe, the United States and Canada.
This means that foreign countries may want to use weather monitoring as well as the study of climate change and its impact on Arctic ecology, flora and fauna as a pretext for their presence on the island.

Oxygen Art Centre is pleased to present new work by Victorian artist Megan Dickie. SPIN OFF is a sculpture and video installation. The video references the format of video games; flat, multi-leveled obstacle courses that are traversed by a character who continually fails and reattempts the challenges. The video is comprised of three levels, and each level is built from large scale, absurd sculptures. The artist is the character who crisscrosses through the impediments and her own physical failure becomes the entertainment. Megan’s artist talk is Saturday August 9 at 1pm. Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
The Oxygen Art Centre is excited to be bringing interdisciplinary artist Megan Dickie and her new work SPIN OFF back to Nelson for their August exhibition. Many of you may recall seeing some of Dickie’s art work from the Klang and Squeal exhibition an installation at Touchstones Nelson a couple of years ago. In Klang and Squeal Dickie exhibited The Gleamer, a large aluminum sheet made from small triangles looking rather like a space blanket. The sheet was set up to allow viewer to enter it. A video nearby showed the artist rumbling around underneath the sheet contorting it into a myriad of shapes causing the sheet to shape shift in response to the artist’s movement below the surface. This sort of shape shifting is reminiscent of the trickster, that ancient character whose love of breaking down hierarchies and inverting norms is in much of Dickie’s work. However, playful the presentation of her sculptures and costumes appear there is sure to be a deeper context just below the surface. Take for example, her piece Submission where the artist made a seven foot tall soft sculpture replicating the logo of the Canada Council for Arts. She then wrestled with it with much like someone would engage with a punching bag mimicking the emotions involved in the process of constantly applying for funding, recognition and exposure. This struggle is central to Dickie’s work and will no doubt be present in Spin Off, where the artist has created an absurdly large dumbbell and well… the rest you will have to come see for yourself.
Dickie’s habit of bringing two seemingly unrelated art practices, sculpture and performance together in to one format, that of video is a result of her interest in the video games of old. Where the artist says crude plots and jerky graphics were made to entertain us as we witness the continual defeat of the main character. This contemplation on defeat and failure is the basis for Spin Off. A project that for Dickie completes a trilogy of work and is a continuation of the artist’s fascination with moments in human behavior when intelligence and reason are pushed to the wayside in favour of amusement. Inventive, clever and subversive Dickie is on her mark.
Megan Dickie completed a BFA in printmaking from the University of Calgary in 1997 and received an MFA in sculpture from the University of Saskatchewan in 2002. She currently teaches sculpture at the University of Victoria. She has exhibited her work across Canada and has had recent exhibitions at Grunt Gallery, Vancouver BC, the Nanaimo Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria the Ministry of Causal Living, the Kenderdine Art Gallery, Saskatoon, SK, and Deluge Contemporary Art, Victoria, BC. She was also the recipient of a Canada Council grants in 2004 & 2013 and BC Arts Council grants in 2007, 2009 and 2013.
The exhibition is held at the Oxygen Art Centre and runs from August 9 – 30th. The gallery is open Wednesday thru Saturday from 1-5pm. An opening reception will be held on Friday August 8th from 7-9pm, the artist will be in attendance. Megan Dickie will give a talk about her work on Saturday, August 9th at 1pm.. As well, the exhibition will be part of the Columbia Basin Culture Tour which runs on August 9 and 10th.
Oxygen Art Centre gratefully acknowledges support for this exhibition from British Columbia Arts Council, Columbia Basin Trust and the Province of British Columbia.

Tree & Shrub Trimming & Pruning in St Louis Mo
Salomon Lawn Care & Exteriors
Pruning, Tree Pruning, Tree Removal Service
At Salomon Lawn Care & Exteriors, we are well versed in the complex art of proper tree and shrub trimming & pruning. Whether you live in St Louis city or county, we have the expertise necessary to undertake any tree trimming or pruning project within the Greater St Louis Mo Metro area.
Salomon Lawn Care & Exteriors has an extensive knowledge about what branches and stems need to be trimmed and the best practices necessary for doing so. We also have a deep understanding of branch attachment and tree biology, and are able to predict a tree’s response to pruning cuts. Furthermore, our knowledge is differentiated between mature trees and young trees since pruning techniques and goals are different for each. For mature trees, we often concentrate on reducing possible hazards and maintaining a healthy tree. For younger trees, our focus largely centers on improving the structure of the tree by removing multiple leaders and weak attachments, so that the tree has a strong foundation from which to grow.
When we begin our assessment, the first thing we consider is your objective. Is your objective to remove a possible hazard? Is it to provide routine maintenance pruning to a prized tree? Perhaps it is simply to trim branches away from a building? Whatever your goals may be, we have the necessary solutions.
Here are some of the types of tree pruning that we offer:
Cleaning: This is selective pruning to remove dead, diseased, dying, broken, and/or weak branches from the crown of a tree. Crown cleaning usually only includes branches over a certain size in diameter. Our usual target is to clean all branches 3 inches or greater in diameter throughout the canopy of a large tree, unless otherwise requested.
Raising: Trimming of the lower branches to provide vertical clearance.
Reduction/Shaping: Selective pruning to decrease the height and/or spread of the canopy and/or to achieve a desired shape.
Thinning: Pruning to reduce the density of live branches, often by removing entire branches. This type of trimming helps allow more sunlight penetration and increased airflow throughout the crown of the tree. It can also be used to reduce the weight of the canopy at certain key points along the trunk.
Structural pruning: This is selective trimming used to develop strong tree structure and decrease the possibility of future mechanical failure. This type of pruning is particularly important for younger, smaller trees and often involves training a dominant, upright stem with well-spaced branches so as to create maximum structural integrity for a tree as it ages.
Restoration pruning: Trimming that is aimed at improving the structure, form, and appearance of a tree that has been damaged.
Targeted pruning: Especially when hazard reduction is the goal, we will target very specific branches to be removed.
Vista pruning: Trimming to allow a specific view, usually by creating view “windows” through the tree’s crown.
No matter the job, Salomon Lawn Care & Exteriors has the expertise, knowledge, and ability to take care of all your tree trimming and pruning needs. We can put your tree and shrub trimming and pruning projects into action asap.

Success in relationships is about making relationships a “way of life”. This means that we are always working on ourselves to make relationships easier.
In the gay community, men can be divided into social classes depending on their psychological development. The lower class consist of men who haven’t received sexual completion and are trapped inside of sexual addiction.
Should gay men have kids? Why do some gay men substitute kids for boyfriends? Are gay men made to have kids or should gay men forgo children in the name of self-development and in the name of gay relationships.
In this video you will understand why being single hurts so much and what to do about it. You will learn new ideas about why its important to be in healthy relationships. You will also find out how to avoid mental and emotional rigidity that comes from being single, which is part of the pain of being single.
The impact of the bisexual men and closeted men on gay people is real and important to discuss. When gay marriage became legal, everyone thought that love and relationships will improve. In reality, just the opposite has happened due to increased use of Craigslist, Grindr and online dating. Why are gay men regressing in the love and relationship area? This video explains part of the challenges gay men face.
Did you know that virtually all men who use Grindr are anxious, depressed and on pharmaceuticals? Did you know that every moment on Grindr contributes more to the destruction of your life rather than the creation of healthy relationships?
What is the updated formula for success in 2018 for gay men? How can gay men become successful in relationships, career, and health in today’s world? How can gay men create healthy lives that sustain the struggles of daily lives? | <urn:uuid:8f2e6158-c780-48d3-b0ca-c42b40963d5b> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://www.paulangelo.com/category/gay-relationships/page/12/ | 2020-01-25T08:44:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251671078.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200125071430-20200125100430-00211.warc.gz | en | 0.961937 | 358 |
Social Recruiting: Art or Science?

This weekend Nissan released photos and details of the electric car it intends to put into production in 2010. The Nissan Leaf is a purpose-built, pure battery electric vehicle. Nissan previously let usthe Leaf's power train using the Cube as a test model. The Nissan Leaf has its own distinct look; it's a more conventional car than the Cube, with four doors and a hatchback. Although it hasn't announced pricing, Nissan says the Leaf will be affordable, priced as a C-segment car. The company also notes that the Leaf will cost less to operate than a gasoline-powered car, both in energy and maintenance, as there are fewer moving parts. Also, many governments offer incentives in the form of tax credits or rebates to purchase an electric car.
The Leaf uses a laminate lithium ion battery pack with an output of over 90 kilowatts. The car's drive motor puts out 80 kilowatts of power, substantial enough to give it performance equivalent to a gas-powered car. Nissan claims the Leaf has a range of over 100 miles, fairly typical for electric car projects from other automakers. The Leaf uses regenerative braking, and has a recharge time of 30 minutes to get the battery pack up to 80 percent using a quick charger. From a 200-volt source, the Leaf takes 8 hours to recharge.
One of the more innovative elements of the car is its onboard computer. Along with typical functions such as charge level and range, this computer is connected to a data center that will receive diagnostic information from the car. It will also keep the driver informed of local recharge stations. Although not specifically mentioned, this onboard system could easily show navigation with traffic conditions. Nissan says the computer will also provide entertainment for passengers.
The Leaf will originally be built in Japan, and sold in Japan, the United States, and Europe. As demand dictates, Nissan will build additional units in its Smyrna, Tennessee plant. | <urn:uuid:75f875f9-6ab1-446f-becc-c1503efa7468> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/nissan-turns-over-a-new-leaf/ | 2017-03-30T05:20:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218191986.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212951-00388-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954885 | 393 |
The vast majority of citizen complaints and internal acts of employee misconduct encountered by government agencies are generated by a small number of problem individuals. It is crucial, therefore, that government agencies can successfully discipline these few “bad apples”.
In other cases, disciplinary action is necessary to hold essentially good employees accountable for misconduct that threatens agency operations. In these cases, making discipline stick is actually in the interest of the employee, as it can serve as a much needed “wake up call” to an employee before performance issues become so serious that termination is required or public safety is threatened.
Over 15% of the United States workforce has self-reported being under the influence of alcohol in the workplace at least once in the last year, according to according to the National Institutes of Health. Add prescription drugs, illegal drugs and other impairing substances to the mix—particularly in light of nationwide legalization and decriminalization of certain drugs—and it seems only reasonable to suspect that this trend will rise.
In response to CALEA accreditation requirements and / or public allegations of racial profiling, many law enforcement agencies have begun to track the race, ethnicity, and gender of those who are stopped, searched, arrested, and / or were the subject of a use of force by officers.
If not researched and written properly, these reports have the potential to be misinterpreted by the media or community groups, needlessly damage the public image of your agency, undermine the legitimacy of your agency with the public, and lower officer morale. This workshop offers crucial skills necessary to present the information in your report in a manner that minimizes the risk of misinterpretation or manipulation, and presents the work of your agency in the most accurate and professionally responsive manner possible.
Recent events in policing have reaffirmed the need for police agencies to build relationships and trust within their communities.
This training will help the student to understand what communities expect of their police, leverage the power of neighborhoods, mobilize the public, and engage community partners in sharing responsibility for public safety.
A new level of society-wide transparency has accompanied technological developments in recording and in individuals’ ability to engage in public expression through social media. This has presented law enforcement agencies with new opportunities in identifying suspects, solving crimes and holding officers accountable to agency standards of conduct. It has also presented these agencies with significant challenges. Most notable of these challenges is a level of transparency and scrutiny for officers—on and off the job—that is unprecedented.
Police-community relations is, by all accounts, the most critical issue facing law enforcement in America today. This training seminar presents law enforcement leaders with solutions, based on empirical research and actual practice, for improving citizen satisfaction, citizen confidence, and citizen support for law enforcement officers. This training utilizes the findings from social scientific research to identify what factors influence citizen satisfaction with the police, then provides real-life case study examples to illustrate each of the solutions identified by the research. This training is suited for law enforcement leaders of any rank who engage in directing agency operations and assist in forming departmental policies. | <urn:uuid:bea848c8-0f0a-498c-a35e-9c53e1fab4be> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://www.dolanconsultinggroup.com/course-catalog/page/4/ | 2018-01-22T09:56:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084891277.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20180122093724-20180122113724-00717.warc.gz | en | 0.949609 | 619 |
Selena Gomez Reportedly Flies Union J’s George Shelley to See Her, Dating Rumors Denied
Biebs was thisclose to a heartbreak, as it was reported that his ex Selena Gomez was trysting with Union J's George Shelley and flew him out to see her at her show in Portugal. What a romantic locale, right? But slow them rolls, people. The romance has already been denied.
Union J are a British boy band, and yes, Shelley is very cute and has Hazza hair. He's no Biebs, but that's the past.
Gomez, 21, and Shelley, 20, were said to be dating after she flew the band out to perform with her at a gig on her Stars Dance Tour, with reports surfacing that there was some alone time afterwards.
"Everyone else left the room at 2AM so they were able to spend the night together," a source said. Things were said to be so hot and heavy that Shelley missed his return flight.
Ooooopsie! Well, not really.
Shelley's bandmate JJ Hamblett told The Metro that Gomez and Shelley are just pals. But you know, where there is smoke, there is usually a blaze. Maybe Hamblett was being a bro and protecting his mate by throwing us off the scent of love?
Hamblett said, "They are just friends. It’s not our place to discuss, but they are friends and, obviously, George will say what he wants to say about the situation."
He confirmed that they did hang with Sel in her hotel room but that's all they did. "She didn’t get off stage until quite late, so we just went and she invited us all back to her hotel and we had a drink," Hamblett said.
And with that, we think Sel is still single, although there were stories of a prior date. | <urn:uuid:3bf23ddd-25a1-4700-8494-dd94a2f54729> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | http://popcrush.com/selena-gomez-flies-union-j-george-shelley-dating-rumors-denied/ | 2019-03-24T22:09:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912203493.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190324210143-20190324232143-00246.warc.gz | en | 0.991628 | 399 |

What It’s Really Like When a Prison ‘Lifer’ Gets a New Shot at Life
Ricardo Sapienza served 25 years for a crime he swears he didn’t commit. But his hardest challenge began the day the parole board finally said “yes.”
Photos by Isadora Kosofsky
On the breezy patio of an upscale Brazilian steakhouse overlooking Redondo Beach, Ricardo Sapienza celebrates his 46th birthday with thirty close friends and family members. Presents pile up, balloons float in the air, meat is carved from rotisserie skewers, and later, feather-headed Samba dancers will shimmy through. Forty-six is not a milestone for most, but this is the first time in 25 years Sapienza is celebrating his birthday as a free man. For a quarter century he was inmate #H28469. Convicted of second-degree murder and attempted murder at the age of twenty in 1991, he was paroled on April 8, 2016. Tonight he also celebrates his last weekend in a six-month court-ordered transitional housing program.
He’s wearing a light blue suit that was given to him by a cousin, like most of the other clothing he owns. It hangs from his compact frame as he makes his way through the crowd, greeting friends, some for the first time since his release, with a mustachioed … | <urn:uuid:a264529b-1d67-4faf-965b-8a94e691d312> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.narratively.com/p/what-its-really-like-when-a-prison-lifer-gets-a-new-shot-at-life | 2024-03-02T20:49:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475897.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20240302184020-20240302214020-00711.warc.gz | en | 0.975574 | 293 |
We’re all excited about what this means for our customer relationships.
Marion, Wis. (PRWEB) May 14, 2013
Marion Body Works, Inc., a Marion, Wis.-based manufacturer of specialized transportation equipment, is proud to announce its recent ISO 9001 certification.
To become ISO 9001 certified, a company must fulfill requirements outlined by the ISO, or International Standardization Organization. Specifically, ISO 9001 requires an organization to demonstrate a quality management system with the ability to consistently provide product that meets customer as well as statutory and regulatory requirements.

While BP lied its way through its Deepwater Horizon devastation of our Gulf of Mexico fishery, its mostly British shareholders wondered if they’ll see an annual dividend check. What would the Dukes, Lords and Baronesses do without one? God knows they don’t do anything for one.
While the Gulf ocean floor bled oil, a couple more oil rigs blew up in Appalachia.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal (propaganda sheet of above-mentioned dole recipients) reported with glee that Dow Chemical, Dupont, Bayer, BASF and Syngenta are about to cash in on the failure of rival (more like cartel member) Monsanto’s Round-Up glycophosphate herbicide to kill the weeds it promised to.
Seems a new generation of “super weeds” is now immune to Roundup, so the company’s Big Chemical bedfellows, smelling the proverbial green, are scrambling to produce corn and soybean seeds which can be dowsed with 2-4-D, dicamba, isoxaflutole and all manner of even more toxic oil-based chemicals than glycophosphate.
Back in 1985 when I was going to college in South Dakota I saw a document published by the David Rockefeller-founded Trilateral Commission. In a piece on agriculture, there appeared a map of the Midwest with a circle drawn around my home state, as well as Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa and part of North Dakota. The header read, “National Sacrifice Area”.
The inference was that in order to “feed the world”, this particular area would intensively farmed beyond natural limits, using poisonous herbicides, pesticides, natural gas-based fertilizers, genetically-engineered seed (GMO), hog confinements and other factory farming methods. It was during this same time that hundreds of small farmers were forced out of business, while the biggest farmers got a whole lot bigger.
Whereas our grandparents’ farms were highly diversified, these new mega-farms, so indebted to the local banker, increasingly mono-cropped corn and soybeans, both mostly GMO now and both mainly fed to livestock. Meanwhile the meat-packing industry came under the control of a few giant companies led by Cargill and Tyson. Massive feedlots sprang up in western Kansas and eastern Colorado. The same meatpacking cartel owns them.
The “culture” in agriculture has been replaced by “business”. The knowledge of many older generations of farmers, who knew that to succeed they had to take care of the earth, has been replaced by a “high yield pays down the loan” mentality. Of course Cargill counts on the same high yield to suppress the price they have to pay to the farmer for his corn and beans.
Meanwhile the soil turns alkaline and the groundwater is poisoned. Clay County, South Dakota, where I got my Bachelor’s degree in the town of Vermillion, has the highest rate of children with leukemia in the United States.
We have to revamp our agriculture and steer it away from its dependence on toxic fossil fuel derivatives. The USDA should encourage organic methods, cooperative meatpacking plants, crop diversity and local production for local markets.
Crop subsidies should be phased out (right now the biggest farmer gets the biggest check and that’s not fair) and replaced by a United Stated Grain Company, which could guarantee the farmer a fair price, then auction the commodity off to the Cargills of the world. The government of Thailand does this for its rice farmers and it works well.
Land reform is also necessary as landholdings in productive areas have become increasingly concentrated. The federal government could buy up large landholdings from willing sellers, divide the land and offer smaller parcels for sale to families at break even prices. We must get people back living on the land. The urban metropolis consumes resources. We need more people to produce food.
It’s not our fault. It was designed that way. Big Oil has interlocking directorates with Big Chemical and Big Auto and they’re all owned by the trillionaire families who own Big Bank. Our job is to destroy their hegemony over us, to reclaim our land and our freedom.
It’s time to head for hills, if you’re not already there.

We learned the hard way how to make visiting the grandparents work better for our baby. We have my mom pick up the kind of baby shampoo and lotion that we use at home so there are no allergy issues. We also bring our own Pack and Play crib so our baby sleeps in a familiar place. We loosened up about the schedule as we all wanted to do one fun thing per day. We planned it in the morning and just let the baby sleep in the stroller and carseat. Then in the afternoon we stayed home so the baby could get a really good nap. We found that being out all day made for a really crabby baby, but getting one really good normal nap in the afternoon was fine and a shorter nap in the morning didn't matter that much.
We also brought lots of extra toys and some that our baby hadn't seen before. We went out with my mom to some of the second hand stores and garage sales to buy toys and books and keep them on hand. That worked really well. She now has one closet where she cleared a shelf for items to pull out when we visit. | <urn:uuid:8ef4dd48-15b8-405b-800d-27b2cef011fe> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://myfamilytravels.com/forum/thread/45378 | 2017-03-25T19:30:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189032.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00606-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977085 | 226 |
